Tranquillity is
the way to Superhuman Delight!
Tranquillity comes due to insight. As he is sitting, whether by night or
by day,
then he experiences neither fatigue, heaviness, rigidity, slowness, nor
sickness
in his body, nor in his mind, but rather his body and mind are tranquil,
very light,
adaptable, pliable, quite sharp and ultra-clear! With his body and mind
aided by
such tranquillity, he experiences a superhuman delight, about which it is
said:
A Bhikkhu with his mind all quiet... Retired to a remote
and empty place.
There right insight in the Dhamma, awards him a superhuman delight!
It is because he really comprehends
the rise and fall of all phenomena,
that he relishes
in this high happiness: A
silent joy not of this world!
A bliss transcending the human! And
he knows it to be the deathless...
