[95] Bhikkhus, these eight worldly conditions (lokadhammā) revolve around the world, and the world revolves around these eight worldly conditions. What eight? Gain and loss, fame and obscurity, blame and praise, pleasure and pain (dukkha). These, bhikkhus, are the eight worldly conditions that revolve around the world, and the world revolves around these eight worldly conditions. Gain and loss, fame and obscurity, blame and praise, pleasure and pain — these conditions among human beings are impermanent, not everlasting, subject to change. Having known them, the mindful and wise one contemplates these conditions subject to change; desirable things do not agitate his mind (citta), nor does he come to repulsion at the undesirable. For him attraction and aversion are dispelled, gone to their end; they exist no more. And having known the dust-free, sorrowless state, he understands rightly, one gone beyond existence. End of the Fifth Sutta The Lokavipatti Sutta
