[621] "Suppose, brahmin, there were a vessel of water not stirred by the wind, not shaken, not turbulent, with no waves arisen upon it. A man with good eyes, examining the reflection of his own face in it, would know and see it as it really is (yathābhūta). Even so, brahmin, on an occasion when one dwells with a mind (citta) not obsessed by restlessness and remorse (uddhacca-kukkucca), not overcome by restlessness and remorse, and one knows and sees as it really is the escape from arisen restlessness and remorse — on that occasion one knows and sees as it really is one's own good; one knows and sees as it really is the good of others; and the good of both. … Even sacred texts long unrecited spring to mind, let alone those that have been recited."
