Venerable \u0100nanda saw Venerable S\u0101riputta and said to him: \u201cReverend S\u0101riputta, your faculties are so very clear, and your complexion is pure and bright. What meditation were you practicing today?\u201d \u201cReverend, as the placing of the mind and keeping it connected were stilled, I entered and remained in the second absorption, which has the rapture and bliss born of immersion, with internal clarity and mind at one, without placing the mind and keeping it connected. But it didn\u2019t occur to me: \u2018I am entering the second absorption\u2019 or \u2018I have entered the second absorption\u2019 or \u2018I am emerging from the second absorption\u2019.\u201d \u201cThat must be because Venerable S\u0101riputta has long ago totally eradicated I-making, mine-making, and the underlying tendency to conceit. That\u2019s why it didn\u2019t occur to you: \u2018I am entering the second absorption\u2019 or \u2018I have entered the second absorption\u2019 or \u2018I am emerging from the second absorption\u2019.\u201d","title":"Without Placing the Mind","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":151}
