7. Sabbaparinnasuttam (Knowing All)

This was said by the Lord Buddha(Bhagavata), said by the Arahant, so I have heard:

“Monks, one who has not fully known & fully understood the All, [1] whose mind has not been cleansed of passion for it, has not abandoned it, is incapable of putting an end to suffering. But one who has fully known & fully understood the All, whose mind has been cleansed of passion for it, has abandoned it, is capable of putting an end to suffering.”

Knowing the All from all around, not stirred by passion in all places: he, having comprehended the All, has gone beyond all suffering.

NOTE: 1. “The All” = the six senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, & ideation) and their respective objects. This covers every aspect of experience that can be described, but does not include nibbana.
