Friends:
The Five Clusters of Clinging are Burning with Ignorance!
Friends, form is burning, feeling is burning, perception is burning, mental
constructions are burning, and consciousness is burning... Burning with what?
Burning with Greed. Burning with Hate. Burning with Ignorance. Burning with
rebirth. Burning with ageing. Burning with decay. Burning with sickness &
pain.
Burning with death. I tell you: Burning with Misery...!!! Understanding this
fully,
friends, the instructed Noble Disciple is disgusted with form, is disgusted
with
feeling, is disgusted with perception, is disgusted with all mental
constructions,
and is also disgusted even with consciousness... This experience of deep
disgust,
brings disillusion & disenchantment. Through this disillusion, mind is all
released!
When it is liberated, then there appears the assurance: 'This mind is freed'
and
one instantly understands: Birth is now ended, this Noble Life is fully
concluded,
done is what should be done, there is no state beyond this...
