The Related Suttas Collection 53.45–54

5. Floods

Floods, etc.

“Bhikkhus, there are five higher fetters. What five? Desire for rebirth in the realm of luminous form, desire for rebirth in the formless realm, conceit, restlessness, and ignorance. These are the five higher fetters.

The four jhānas should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these five higher fetters. What four? It’s when a bhikkhu, quite secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unskillful qualities, enters and remains in the first jhāna, which has the rapture and bliss born of seclusion, while placing the mind and keeping it connected. As the placing of the mind and keeping it connected are stilled, they enter and remain in the second jhāna … third jhāna … fourth jhāna. These four jhānas should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these five higher fetters.”
