[91] "What do you think, bhikkhu — is the eye (cakkhu) permanent or impermanent?"
"Impermanent, venerable sir." …
"Is the ear… the nose… the tongue… the body… the mind (mano)… mind-consciousness… mind-contact… and whatever feeling (vedanā) arises with mind-contact as condition — whether pleasant, painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant — is that too permanent or impermanent?"
"Impermanent, venerable sir."
"And that which is impermanent — is it suffering (dukkha) or happiness?"
"Suffering, venerable sir."
"And that which is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change — is it fitting to regard it thus: 'This is mine, this I am, this is my self'?"
"Certainly not, venerable sir."
"Seeing thus, bhikkhus, the instructed noble disciple becomes disenchanted with the eye … he becomes disenchanted also with whatever feeling arises with mind-contact as condition, whether pleasant, painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant. Being disenchanted, he becomes dispassionate; through dispassion he is liberated. When it is liberated, there comes the knowledge (ñāṇa): 'It is liberated.' He understands: 'Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done; there is no more of this state of being.'"
This is what the Blessed One said. Gladdened, that bhikkhu delighted in the Blessed One's statement. And while this exposition was being spoken, the mind (citta) of that bhikkhu was liberated from the taints (āsava) through non-clinging.
