Jati Sutta

Translation by Bhikkhuni Uppalavanna

"The internal and the external are tangled. The populace is entangled. I ask Gotama, who would disentangle this entangle?" "A wise man established in virtues, develops his mind and wisdom And that zealous and clever bhikkhu, disentangles, the tangle. In whomever greed, hate and delusion are dispelled, That worthy one, whose desires are destroyed, has disentangled it. "When name and matter is pulled out without anything remaining, And also anger and material perceptions, then too it is disentangled."
