These 7
States are Focused on
1
single object: NibbAna!
The
Awareness Link to Awakening
is foremost,
in the sense of rolling overall like a wheel.
The
Investigation Link to Awakening
is the chief, in the sense of greatness like an elephant.
The
Energy Link
to
Awakening
is prime, in
the sense of being swift & strong like a horse.
The
Joy
Link to
Awakening
is vital, in the sense of giving brilliant radiance like a jewel.
The
Tranquillity Link to Awakening,
is primary
in the sense of
soothing
like a mild
woman.
The
Concentration Link to Awakening,
is best in
the sense of giving wealth
like a
treasurer.
The
Equanimity Link to Awakening
is supreme,
in the sense of ballance like a good advisor.
These
seven links to awakening are thus like the 7 treasures of a
wheel-turning monarch.
They awaken beings into the state of
entering the stream leading to the deathless
Nibbāna.
They further awaken beings into the
state of returning here as human only one more time.
They furthermore awaken beings into the
state of never returning here as human again.
They finally fully awaken beings into the
state of Arahatship by complete Enlightenment!
When these seven states coincide simultaneously; fused into the same assemblage;
all being
joined focused on only
one single and same object:
Nibbāna,
then Awakening occurs...
This 7-fold supreme culmination is the final Enlightenment! Yeah...
Awakening
is 7 mental qualities focused on 1 single object...

a
phase transition
of consciousness...
Local to => Universal + Discrete to => Continuous!
Enlightenment transcends both time and space & is thus inexpressible!
