Liberation means Leaving all
States!
Any greed, lust, desire, longing, urge, hankering, hoping or wishing for
this or
that state must be made to fade away absolutely, enabling mind to be fully
released, and thus liberated by the elimination of all greed. All states on
the 3
planes (sensual,
fine-material and formless existence) is meant all-inclusively,
since it is necessary not to omit anything suitable for complete
comprehension.
The Blessed One said: Bhikkhus, without directly knowing, without fully
under-
standing all, without causing the fading away of any greed for this all,
without
leaving it all behind, the mind is incapable of the full destruction of
suffering!
Bhikkhus, it is by directly knowing, by fully understanding all, by causing
the
fading away of any desire, lust and greed for for this all, by abandoning it
all,
that the mind becomes capable of the irreversible and complete destruction of
all Suffering!
