[108] **One who lives the holy life amid sensual pleasures (kāmesu brahmacariyavā):** As to *kāmā* — by way of summary, sensual pleasures (kāma) are twofold: objective sensuality (vatthukāma) and subjective sensuality (kilesakāma). … These are called objective sensuality. … These are called subjective sensuality.
**One who lives the holy life (brahmacariyavā):** "The holy life (brahmacariya)" means the refraining, abstaining, desisting, abstention, non-doing, non-performing, non-transgression, and not overstepping the boundary, with regard to engagement in the unrighteous practice (asaddhamma).
Moreover, in the direct sense, "the holy life" means the Noble Eightfold Path, namely: Right View, Right Thought, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, Right Concentration. Whoever is endowed with, fully endowed with, has come to, fully come to, arrived at, fully arrived at, and is possessed of this Noble Eightfold Path — he is called "one who lives the holy life."
And just as by wealth one is called wealthy, by possessions one is called a person of possessions, by fame one is called famous, by craft one is called a craftsman, by virtue one is called virtuous, by energy (vīriya) one is called energetic, by wisdom one is called wise, by true knowledge one is called a possessor of true knowledge — even so, whoever is endowed with, fully endowed with, has come to, fully come to, arrived at, fully arrived at, and is possessed of this Noble Eightfold Path, he is called "one who lives the holy life." Hence: "one who lives the holy life amid sensual pleasures."
**Metteyya:** The Blessed One addresses that brahmin by his clan name. **The Blessed One (Bhagavā):** this is a term of reverence. … a designation grounded in realization, namely "the Blessed One." Hence: "Metteyya," said the Blessed One.
