[444] "Contemplating" (anupassī): … "he dwells" (viharati): … "ardent" (ātāpī): … "clearly comprehending" (sampajāno): … "mindful" (satimā): … "having removed covetousness and grief regarding the world" (vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṃ): Therein, what is the world (loka)? That very feeling (vedanā) is the world; the five aggregates subject to clinging (upādānakkhandhā), too, are the world. This is called the world. Therein, what is covetousness (abhijjhā)? That which is lust, infatuation, … infatuation of the mind (citta) — this is called covetousness. Therein, what is grief (domanassa)? That which is mental discomfort, mental pain; the uncomfortable, painful experience born of mind-contact; the uncomfortable, painful feeling born of mind-contact — this is called grief. Thus this covetousness and this grief are removed in this world, thoroughly removed; they are calmed, quieted, stilled; they have disappeared, utterly disappeared; they are destroyed, utterly destroyed, dried up, utterly dried up, done away with. Therefore it is said: "having removed covetousness and grief regarding the world." The Exposition of the Contemplation of Feelings (Vedanānupassanāniddesa).
