The Arahat

092

The fever of passion exists not for one who has completed the journey, who is sorrowless and wholly set free, and has broken all ties.

093

The mindful ones exert themselves. They are not attached to any home; like swans that abandon the lake, they leave home after home behind.

094

Those who do not accumulate and are wise regarding food, whose object is the Void, the unconditioned freedom--their track cannot be traced, like that of birds in the air.

095

One whose cankers are destroyed and who is not attached to food, whose object is the Void, the unconditioned freedom--one's path cannot be traced, like that of birds in the air.

096

Even the gods hold dear the wise, whose senses are subdued like horses well-trained by a charioteer, whose pride is destroyed and who are free from the cankers.

097

There is no more worldly existence for the wise one, who, like the earth, resents nothing; who is as firm as a high pillar and as pure as a deep pool free from mud.

098

Calm is one's thought, calm one's speech and calm one's deed, who, truly knowing, is wholly, freed, perfectly tranquil and wise.

099

The person who is without blind faith, who knows the Uncreate, who has severed all links, who has destroyed all causes (for kamma, good and evil), and who has thrown out all desires --that person truly is the most excellent of people.

100

Inspiring, indeed, is that place where Arahats dwell, be it a village, a forest, a vale or a hill.

101

Inspiring are the forests where worldlings find no pleasure. There the passionless will rejoice, for they seek no sensual pleasures.
