A Duality (1st)
“ද්වයං වෝ, භික්ඛවේ, දේසේස්සාමි. තං සුණාථ.
“Bhikkhus, I will teach you a duality. Listen …
කිඤ්ච, භික්ඛවේ, ද්වයං? චක්ඛුඤ්චේව රූපා ච, සෝතඤ්චේව සද්දා ච, ඝානඤ්චේව ගන්ධා ච, ජිව්හා චේව රසා ච, කායෝ චේව ඵෝට්ඨබ්බා ච, මනෝ චේව ධම්මා ච—ඉදං වුච්චති, භික්ඛවේ, ද්වයං.
And what is a duality? It’s just the eye and sights, the ear and sounds, the nose and smells, the tongue and tastes, the body and touches, and the mind and thoughts. This is called a duality.
යෝ, භික්ඛවේ, ඒවං වදේය්‍ය: ‘අහමේතං ද්වයං පච්චක්ඛාය අඤ්ඤං ද්වයං පඤ්ඤපේස්සාමී(අ)ති, තස්ස වාචාවත්ථුකමේවස්ස. පුට්ඨෝ ච න සම්පායේය්‍ය. උත්තරිඤ්ච විඝාතං ආපජ්ජේය්‍ය. තං කිස්ස හේතු? යථා තං, භික්ඛවේ, අවිසයස්මින්”ති.
Bhikkhus, suppose someone was to say: ‘I’ll reject this duality and describe another duality.’ They’d have no grounds for that, they’d be stumped by questions, and, in addition, they’d get frustrated. Why is that? Because they’re out of their element.”
නවමං.
