Listen \u2026 And what is the practice that\u2019s conducive to uprooting all conceiving? It\u2019s when a mendicant does not conceive anything to be the eye, does not conceive it in the eye, does not conceive it as the eye, and does not conceive that \u2018the eye is mine.\u2019 They don\u2019t conceive anything to be sights \u2026 eye consciousness \u2026 eye contact. And they don\u2019t conceive anything to be the pleasant, painful, or neutral feeling that arises dependent on eye contact. They don\u2019t conceive it in that, they don\u2019t conceive it as that, and they don\u2019t conceive that \u2018that is mine.\u2019 For whatever you conceive it to be, whatever you conceive it in, whatever you conceive it as, and whatever you conceive to be \u2018mine\u2019: that becomes something else. The world is attached to being, taking pleasure only in being, yet it becomes something else. They don\u2019t conceive anything to be the ear \u2026 nose \u2026 tongue \u2026 body \u2026 mind \u2026 They don\u2019t conceive anything to be the pleasant, painful, or neutral feeling that arises dependent on mind contact. They don\u2019t conceive it in that, they don\u2019t conceive it as that, and they don\u2019t conceive that \u2018that is mine.\u2019 For whatever you conceive it to be, whatever you conceive it in, whatever you conceive it as, and whatever you conceive to be \u2018mine\u2019: that becomes something else. The world is attached to being, taking pleasure only in being, yet it becomes something else. As far as the aggregates, elements, and sense fields extend, they don\u2019t conceive anything to be that, they don\u2019t conceive it in that, they don\u2019t conceive it as that, and they don\u2019t conceive that \u2018that is mine.\u2019 Not conceiving, they don\u2019t grasp at anything in the world. Not grasping, they\u2019re not anxious. Not being anxious, they personally become extinguished. They understand: \u2018Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is nothing further for this place.\u2019 This is the practice that\u2019s conducive to uprooting all conceiving.\u201d","title":"The Practice Conducive to Uprooting (1st)","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":351}
