The Final Liberating Relinquishment:
When ignorance of the 4 Noble Truths finally
fully evaporates, then:
One no longer clings neither to any sense pleasures, any views,
nor any rules and
rituals!
One no longer clings to any idea of a "self, I, Me, Ego, Soul, or
any Identity" whatsoever...
When one does not cling, then one is not agitated! One thus remains
silently imperturbable...
When
mental perturbation is impossible, one attains the state of Nibbāna right there!
One then understands: Rebirth is ended, this Noble life has been
fully completed,
what had to be done is done, there is no more relapsing into any state of
being...
