[493] Then a certain brahmin approached the Blessed One; having approached, he exchanged greetings with the Blessed One … Sitting to one side, that brahmin said this to the Blessed One: "'The Dhamma is directly visible (sandiṭṭhiko), the Dhamma is directly visible,' Master Gotama, so it is said. In what way, Master Gotama, is the Dhamma directly visible, immediate (akāliko), inviting one to come and see (ehipassiko), applicable (opanayiko), to be personally experienced by the wise?"
"One who is lustful, brahmin, overcome by lust (rāga), his mind (citta) obsessed by it, intends his own affliction too, intends the affliction of others too, intends the affliction of both too, and he also experiences mental suffering (dukkha) and grief. When lust has been abandoned, he neither intends his own affliction, nor intends the affliction of others, nor intends the affliction of both, nor does he experience mental suffering and grief. In this way too, brahmin, the Dhamma is directly visible …
"One who is hating, brahmin, overcome by hatred (dosa), his mind obsessed by it, intends his own affliction too, intends the affliction of others too, intends the affliction of both too, and he also experiences mental suffering and grief. When hatred has been abandoned, he neither intends his own affliction, nor intends the affliction of others, nor intends the affliction of both, nor does he experience mental suffering and grief. In this way too, brahmin, the Dhamma is directly visible …
"One who is deluded, brahmin, overcome by delusion (moha), his mind obsessed by it, intends his own affliction too, intends the affliction of others too, intends the affliction of both too, and he also experiences mental suffering and grief. When delusion has been abandoned, he neither intends his own affliction, nor intends the affliction of others, nor intends the affliction of both, nor does he experience mental suffering and grief. In this way too, brahmin, the Dhamma is directly visible, immediate, inviting one to come and see, applicable, to be personally experienced by the wise."
"Excellent, Master Gotama! … Let Master Gotama remember me as a lay follower (upāsaka) who has gone for refuge for life from this day forward."
