Consciousness

At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, desire and greed for eye consciousness,

ear consciousness,

nose consciousness,

tongue consciousness,

body consciousness,

or mind consciousness is a corruption of the mind.

When a mendicant has given up mental corruption in these six cases, their mind inclines to renunciation.

A mind imbued with renunciation is said to be fit for work regarding anything that can be realized by insight.”
