[69] **"He does not long for this world or the next"** — He does not long for this world, that is, his own individual existence (attabhāva); he does not long for the next world, that is, another's individual existence. He does not long for this world, that is, his own form, feeling (vedanā), perception, volitional formations, and consciousness; he does not long for the next world, that is, the form, feeling, perception, volitional formations, and consciousness of another. He does not long for this world, that is, the six internal sense bases (āyatana); he does not long for the next world, that is, the six external sense bases. He does not long for this world, that is, the human world; he does not long for the next world, that is, the world of the devas. He does not long for this world, that is, the sensual element (dhātu); he does not long for the next world, that is, the form element and the formless element. He does not long for this world, that is, the sensual element and the form element; he does not long for the next world, that is, the formless element. He does not long for, does not wish for, does not delight in, does not aspire to, does not yearn for, does not hanker after a further destination, rebirth, re-linking (paṭisandhi), existence, saṃsāra, or round (vaṭṭa). Therefore it is said, "he does not long for this world or the next." Hence the Blessed One said:
Having fully understood perception (saññā), he would cross over the flood;
the muni, unsullied amid possessions,
with the dart drawn out, wandering diligent,
does not long for this world or the next.
