<div chapter>

45. "Suppose there were a pool of water — sullied, turbid, and
muddy. A man with good eyesight standing there on the bank would not
see shells, gravel, and pebbles, or shoals of fish swimming about and
resting. Why is that? Because of the sullied nature of the water. In
the same way, that a monk with a sullied mind would know his own
benefit, the benefit of others, the benefit of both; that he would
realize a superior human state, a truly noble distinction of knowledge
& vision: Such a thing is impossible. Why is that? Because of the
sullied nature of his mind."

46. "Suppose there were a pool of water — clear, limpid, and
unsullied. A man with good eyesight standing there on the bank would
see shells, gravel, & pebbles, and also shoals of fish swimming
about and resting. Why is that? Because of the unsullied nature of the
water. In the same way, that a monk with an unsullied mind would know
his own benefit, the benefit of others, the benefit of both; that he
would realize a superior human state, a truly noble distinction of
knowledge & vision: Such a thing is possible. Why is that? Because
of the unsullied nature of his mind."
