[33] "And how, bhikkhus, is there non-agitation through non-clinging (anupādā-aparitassanā)? Here, bhikkhus, the instructed noble disciple (ariyasāvaka) — one who sees the noble ones, is skilled in the Dhamma of the noble ones, well trained in the Dhamma of the noble ones; who sees superior persons (sappurisa), is skilled in the Dhamma of superior persons, well trained in the Dhamma of superior persons — does not regard form (rūpa) as self, nor self as possessing form, nor form as in self, nor self as in form. That form of his changes and becomes otherwise. With the change and alteration of form, his consciousness does not become preoccupied with the change of form. No agitation and arising of states born of preoccupation with the change of form persist obsessing his mind (citta). Because his mind is not obsessed, he is not frightened, not distressed, not anxious, and through non-clinging he is not agitated. "He does not regard feeling (vedanā) as self, nor self as possessing feeling, nor feeling as in self, nor self as in feeling. That feeling of his changes and becomes otherwise. With the change and alteration of feeling, his consciousness does not become preoccupied with the change of feeling. No agitation and arising of states born of preoccupation with the change of feeling persist obsessing his mind. Because his mind is not obsessed, he is not frightened, not distressed, not anxious, and through non-clinging he is not agitated. "He does not regard perception (saññā) … He does not regard volitional formations (saṅkhārā) as self, nor self as possessing volitional formations, nor volitional formations as in self, nor self as in volitional formations. Those volitional formations of his change and become otherwise. With the change and alteration of volitional formations, his consciousness does not become preoccupied with the change of volitional formations. No agitation and arising of states born of preoccupation with the change of volitional formations persist obsessing his mind. Because his mind is not obsessed, he is not frightened, not distressed, not anxious, and through non-clinging he is not agitated. "He does not regard consciousness (viññāṇa) as self, nor self as possessing consciousness, nor consciousness as in self, nor self as in consciousness. That consciousness of his changes and becomes otherwise. With the change and alteration of consciousness, his consciousness does not become preoccupied with the change of consciousness. No agitation and arising of states born of preoccupation with the change of consciousness persist obsessing his mind. Because his mind is not obsessed, he is not frightened, not distressed, not anxious, and through non-clinging he is not agitated. "It is in this way, bhikkhus, that there is non-agitation through non-clinging."
