Seeking sounds, odours, tastes, tangibles, a family, a company, a dwelling, gain, fame, praise, pleasure, robes, almsfood, lodging, medicinal requisites for the sick, the Suttanta, the Vinaya, the Abhidhamma, the forest-dweller's practice, the alms-food-eater's practice, the refuse-rag-wearer's practice, the triple-robe-wearer's practice, the house-to-house-seeker's practice, the later-food-refuser's practice, the sitter's practice, the any-bed-user's practice, the first jhāna, the second jhāna, the third jhāna, the fourth jhāna, the attainment of the Sphere of Infinity of Space, the attainment of the Sphere of Infinity of Consciousness, the attainment of the Sphere of Nothingness — seeking the attainment of the Sphere of Neither Perception Nor Non-Perception, he obtains the attainment of the Sphere of Neither Perception Nor Non-Perception and reaches his fulfillment in the attainment of the Sphere of Neither Perception Nor Non-Perception.
In hope the field is ploughed; in hope the seed is sown;
in hope merchants go to sea, bearers of wealth away;
by whatever hope I stand, may that hope of mine succeed.
The success of hope is called the fulfillment of hope. **"And hope and the fulfillment of hope have their source in this"**: hope and the fulfillment of hope have this desire (chanda) as their source, have desire as their origin, are born of desire, are produced by desire — thus, "and hope and the fulfillment of hope have their source in this."
