Then in the late afternoon, Venerable S\u0101riputta came out of retreat, went to Venerable Upav\u0101\u1e47a and exchanged greetings with him. When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side and said to Upav\u0101\u1e47a: \u201cReverend Upav\u0101\u1e47a, can a mendicant know that by investigating inside themselves, the seven awakening factors have been properly implemented so that they lead to living at ease?\u201d \u201cThey can, Reverend S\u0101riputta. As a mendicant rouses up the awakening factor of mindfulness, they understand: \u2018My mind is well freed. I\u2019ve eradicated dullness and drowsiness, and eliminated restlessness and remorse. My energy is roused up, and my mind is sharply focused, not sluggish.\u2019 \u2026 As they rouse up the awakening factor of equanimity, they understand: \u2018My mind is well freed.
