[623] Suppose, brahmin, there were a bowl of water — clear, limpid, unstirred — placed in the light. A man with eyes, examining the reflection of his own face in it, would know and see it as it really is (yathābhūta). So too, brahmin, when one dwells with a mind not obsessed by doubt (vicikicchā), not overwhelmed by doubt, and one knows and sees as it really is the escape from arisen doubt — on that occasion one knows and sees one's own good as it really is; on that occasion one knows and sees the good of others as it really is; on that occasion one knows and sees the good of both as it really is. Then even sacred texts (mantā) long unrecited come to mind, not to speak of those that have been recited.
