[192] "There are, householder, forms cognizable by the eye that are wished for, desirable, agreeable, pleasing, connected with sensuality, and provocative of lust. If a bhikkhu does not delight in that, does not welcome it, and does not remain attached to it, then for him — not delighting in it, not welcoming it, not remaining attached to it — consciousness does not become dependent on that, nor is there clinging (upādāna) to that. Without clinging, householder, a bhikkhu attains final Nibbāna (parinibbāyati). … There are, householder, tastes cognizable by the tongue … There are, householder, mental phenomena (dhammā) cognizable by the mind that are wished for, desirable, agreeable, pleasing, connected with sensuality, and provocative of lust. If a bhikkhu does not delight in that, does not welcome it, and does not remain attached to it, then for him — not delighting in it, not welcoming it, not remaining attached to it — consciousness does not become dependent on that, nor is there clinging to that. Without clinging, householder, a bhikkhu attains final Nibbāna. This, householder, is the cause, this is the condition, why some beings here attain final Nibbāna in this very life." The first [sutta].
