Bhikkhus, if you live to realise the benefits of the training . . . one of two fruits is to be expected: final knowledge here and now or, there being some residual defilement, the state of non-returning." One who has completed the training, Incapable of falling away, Attained to the higher wisdom, A seer of the end of birth - That sage bears his final body, And having left behind conceit, He has gone beyond decay, I say. Therefore ever delighting in meditation, Concentrated, with ardent energy, Seeing the end of birth, O! Bhikkhus! Conquer Mara and his host, And go beyond all birth and death. 45/315 Itivuttaka Khuddhaka It.040 training
