Rāgasutta

Suttapiṭaka · Saṁyuttanikāya · Saḷāyatanavaggasaṁyutta · Vol. 18 · Section 263

[263] Bhikkhus, the eye of the past is impermanent … the tongue of the past is impermanent … the mind of the past is impermanent. Seeing thus, bhikkhus, the instructed noble disciple becomes disenchanted (nibbindati) with the eye … becomes disenchanted with the tongue … becomes disenchanted with the mind. Being disenchanted, he becomes dispassionate (virajjati); through dispassion (virāga) he is liberated (vimuccati). When it is liberated, there comes the knowledge (ñāṇa): 'It is liberated.' He understands: 'Birth (jāti) is destroyed, the holy life (brahmacariya) has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being.'
