Then the Venerable Suradha approached the Buddha...and said to him: "Venerable sir, how should one know, how should one see so that, in regard to this body with consciousness and in regard to all external signs, the mind is rid of I-making, mine- making, and conceit, has transcended discrimination, and is peaceful and well liberated?" "Any kind of form whatsoever, Suradha, whether past, futre, or present...far or near - having seen all form as it really is with correct wisdom thus: "This is not mine, this I am not, this is not myself," one is liberated by nonclinging. "Any kind of feeling whatsoever... Any kind of perception whatsoever... Any kind of volitional formations whatsoever... Any kind of consciouness whatsoever, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, gross or subtle, inferior or superior, far or near - having seen all consciouness as it really is with correct wisdom thus: "This is not mine, this I am not, this is not myself," one is liberated by nonclinging. "When one knows and sees thus, Suradha, then in regard to this body with consciousness and in regard to external signs, the mind is rid of I-making, mine-making, and conceit, has transcended discrimination, and is peaceful and well liberated." Then the Venerable Suradha...became one of the arahants.
From the Samyutta Nikaya" of the Buddha
