“A tangle within,
a tangle without,
people are entangled
in a tangle.
Gotama, I ask you this:
Who can untangle this tangle?”
The Buddha:
“A man established in virtue,
discerning,
developing discernment & mind,
a monk ardent, astute:
He can untangle this tangle.
Those whose
passion,
aversion,
& ignorance
have faded away,
arahants, their effluents ended:
For them the tangle’s untangled.
Where name-&-form,
along with perception
of impingement & form,
totally stop without trace:
That’s where the tangle
is cut.”
