[122] One should not conceive (na maññeyya) the eye, should not conceive in the eye, should not conceive from the eye, should not conceive "the eye is mine." One should not conceive forms; eye-consciousness; eye-contact; and whatever feeling (vedanā) arises with eye-contact as condition — whether pleasant, painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant — that too one should not conceive, should not conceive in that, should not conceive from that, should not conceive "that is mine." For, bhikkhus, whatever one conceives, whatever one conceives in, whatever one conceives from, whatever one conceives as "mine" — thereby that becomes otherwise. The world, becoming otherwise, attached to existence, delights only in existence. …
One should not conceive the tongue, should not conceive in the tongue, should not conceive from the tongue, should not conceive "the tongue is mine." One should not conceive tastes; tongue-consciousness; tongue-contact; and whatever feeling arises with tongue-contact as condition — whether pleasant, painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant — that too one should not conceive, should not conceive in that, should not conceive from that, should not conceive "that is mine." For, bhikkhus, whatever one conceives, whatever one conceives in, whatever one conceives from, whatever one conceives as "mine" — thereby that becomes otherwise. The world, becoming otherwise, attached to existence, delights only in existence. …
One should not conceive the mind, should not conceive in the mind, should not conceive from the mind, should not conceive "the mind is mine." One should not conceive dhammas; mind-consciousness; mind-contact; and whatever feeling arises with mind-contact as condition — whether pleasant, painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant — that too one should not conceive, should not conceive in that, should not conceive from that, should not conceive "that is mine." For, bhikkhus, whatever one conceives, whatever one conceives in, whatever one conceives from, whatever one conceives as "mine" — thereby that becomes otherwise. The world, becoming otherwise, attached to existence, delights only in existence.
Bhikkhus, as far as the aggregates (khandha), elements (dhātu), and sense bases (āyatana) extend, one should not conceive even that, should not conceive in that, should not conceive from that, should not conceive "that is mine." Not conceiving thus, he does not cling to anything in the world. Not clinging, he is not agitated. Not agitated, he personally attains Nibbāna. He understands: "Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more for this state of being."
