[247] How is wisdom regarding diversity (nānatta) knowledge (ñāṇa) of the turning away of the mind (cetovivaṭṭa)?
Sensual desire (kāmacchanda) is diversity; renunciation (nekkhamma) is unity (ekatta). For one who intends the unity of renunciation, the mind (citta) turns away from sensual desire — thus wisdom regarding diversity is knowledge of the turning away of the mind. Ill will (byāpāda) is diversity; non-ill will is unity. For one who intends the unity of non-ill will, the mind turns away from ill will — thus wisdom regarding diversity is knowledge of the turning away of the mind. Dullness and drowsiness (thīna-middha) are diversity; the perception of light (ālokasaññā) is unity. For one who intends the unity of the perception of light, the mind turns away from dullness and drowsiness — thus wisdom regarding diversity is knowledge of the turning away of the mind. … All defilements (kilesa) are diversity; the path of Arahantship (arahattamagga) is unity. For one who intends the unity of the path of Arahantship, the mind turns away from all defilements — thus wisdom regarding diversity is knowledge of the turning away of the mind.
That is knowledge (ñāṇa) in the sense of being known, and wisdom in the sense of knowing. Hence it is said: wisdom regarding diversity is knowledge of the turning away of the mind.
