Friends:
Neither Pushed nor Pulled:
Therefore, friend Channa, this instruction by the Blessed One
should be given continuous attention:
There is Wavering in one who is Dependent !
There is no wavering in one who is Independent !
When wavering is absent, there is Tranquillity..
When Stilled & Tranquil, there is no drifting..
When not drifting anywhere, there is no coming nor going..
When there is neither coming nor going, there is no passing
away nor reappearing. When there is neither passing away nor
reappearing, there is no here nor beyond nor in between ...!
This -itself- is the very End of all Suffering ...
