[617] Suppose, brahmin, there were a pot of water not heated by fire, not bubbling, not steaming. A man with good eyesight, examining the reflection of his own face in it, would know and see it as it really is (yathābhūta). So too, brahmin, on an occasion when one dwells with a mind not obsessed by ill will (byāpāda), not overcome by ill will, and one knows and sees as it really is the escape from ill will that has arisen — on that occasion one knows and sees as it really is one's own good; one knows and sees as it really is another's good; and the good of both … even sacred hymns (mantā) long unrecited come to mind, let alone those that have been recited.
