[101] Thus have I heard. On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Rājagaha, in the Bamboo Grove, the Squirrels' Feeding Ground. Then Soṇa the householder's son approached the Blessed One; having approached, he paid homage to the Blessed One and sat down to one side. As Soṇa the householder's son sat to one side, the Blessed One said this to him: "Soṇa, whatever ascetics or brahmins do not understand form (rūpa), do not understand the origin (samudaya) of form, do not understand the cessation (nirodha) of form, do not understand the way of practice leading to the cessation of form; do not understand feeling (vedanā), do not understand the origin of feeling, do not understand the cessation of feeling, do not understand the way of practice leading to the cessation of feeling; do not understand perception (saññā) … do not understand volitional formations (saṅkhārā), do not understand the origin of volitional formations, do not understand the cessation of volitional formations, do not understand the way of practice leading to the cessation of volitional formations; do not understand consciousness (viññāṇa), do not understand the origin of consciousness, do not understand the cessation of consciousness, do not understand the way of practice leading to the cessation of consciousness — these, Soṇa, I do not regard as ascetics among ascetics or as brahmins among brahmins; nor do those venerable ones, having realized it for themselves with direct knowledge in this very life, enter upon and dwell in the goal of asceticism or the goal of brahminhood."
