[74] **Therefore for the sage (muni) there is no barrenness anywhere** — **Therefore**: therefore, for that reason, from that cause, owing to that condition, with that as its source, there is for the sage neither the state of a stricken mind (citta) nor any arisen barrenness. The five kinds of mental barrenness (cetokhīla) do not exist; the three barrennesses also do not exist — the barrenness of greed (lobha), the barrenness of hatred (dosa), the barrenness of delusion (moha) — they do not exist, are not present, are not found, are not apprehended; they are abandoned, cut off, stilled, tranquilized, rendered incapable of arising again, burnt up by the fire of knowledge (ñāṇa). **Anywhere**: anywhere, in anything, in any place — internally, or externally, or both internally and externally. Therefore, "for the sage there is no barrenness anywhere." Hence the Blessed One said:
Some indeed speak with corrupt minds;
others indeed speak with minds convinced of truth;
but when talk has arisen, the sage does not take it up;
therefore for the sage there is no barrenness anywhere.
