- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutras
- The Buddha said:
- Those who have passions are never able to perceive the way, for it is like stirring up clear water with hands. People may come there wishing to find a reflection of their faces which however they will never see. A mind troubled and vexed with passions is impure, and on that account it never sees the way.
- O monks, do away with passions. When the dirt of passion is removed the way will manifest itself.
- The Buddha said:
- Seeing the way is like going into a dark room with a torch. The darkness instantly departs while the light alone remains. When the way is attained and the truth is seen, ignorance vanishes and enlightenment abides forever.
