[249] How is wisdom (paññā) regarding what is empty (suññata) knowledge (ñāṇa) of the turning away through knowledge (ñāṇavivaṭṭa)?
For one who knows and sees as it really is that the eye is empty of self, or of what belongs to self, or of what is permanent, or of what is stable, or of what is everlasting, or of what is not subject to change, knowledge turns away from adherence to sensual pleasures; thus wisdom regarding what is empty is knowledge of the turning away through knowledge. For one who knows and sees as it really is that the ear is empty … the nose is empty, the tongue is empty, the body is empty, the mind is empty of self, or of what belongs to self, or of what is permanent, or of what is stable, or of what is everlasting, or of what is not subject to change, knowledge turns away from adherence to sensual pleasures; thus wisdom regarding what is empty is knowledge of the turning away through knowledge.
That is knowledge in the sense of its being known, and wisdom in the sense of the act of understanding. Hence it is said: wisdom regarding what is empty is knowledge of the turning away through knowledge.
