The Word of the Buddha The Arahant, or Holy One

¶ 6“Having understood the high and low in the world,
(Puṇṇaka,” said the Blessed One)
“for whom the world holds no trace of agitation;
tranquil, passionless, untroubled, and fulfilled—
He has crossed over birth and old age, I say.”

¶ 8Furthermore, an adept bhikkhu discerns the six faculties. He discerns: ‘The eye faculty, the ear faculty, the nose faculty, the tongue faculty, the body faculty, and the mind faculty—these six faculties will cease entirely, in every way, completely without remainder, and no other six faculties will arise anywhere in any way.’ This too is a method by means of which a bhikkhu who is an adept, standing on the ground of an adept, discerns: ‘I am an adept.’”
