faith,<br\/>I too have faith.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">It is not only R\u0101ma who has energy,<br\/>I too have energy.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">It is not only R\u0101ma who has mindfulness,<br\/>I too have mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">It is not only R\u0101ma who has concentration,<br\/>I too have concentration.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">It is not only R\u0101ma who has intuitive wisdom,<br\/>I too have intuitive wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Suppose now that I should strive for the realisation of that dhamma<br\/>which R\u0101ma proclaims:<br\/>&#8216;Having realized super-knowledge for myself,<br\/>entering on it<br\/>I am abiding in it?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So I, Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja, very soon,<br\/>very quickly,<br\/>having realized super-knowledge for myself,<br\/>entering on that dhamma,<br\/>abided therein.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then I, Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja,<br\/>approached Uddaka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s son;<br\/>having approached,<br\/>I spoke thus to Uddaka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s son:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Is it to this extent<br\/>that you, reverend R\u0101ma,<br\/>proclaim this dhamma,<br\/>entering on it,<br\/>having realized it by your own super-knowledge?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;It is to this extent<br\/>that I, your reverence,<br\/>proclaim this dhamma,<br\/>entering on it,<br\/>having realized it by my own super-knowledge.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;I too, your reverence,<br\/>having realized this dhamma by my own super-knowledge,<br\/>entering on it<br\/>am abiding in it.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;It is profitable for us,<br\/>it is well gotten by us,<br\/>your reverence,<br\/>that we see a fellow-Brahm\u0101-farer such as the venerable one.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">This dhamma that I,<br\/>entering on,<br\/>proclaim,<br\/>having realized it by my own super-knowledge,<br\/>is the dhamma that you,<br\/>entering on,<br\/>are abiding in,<br\/>having realized it by your own super-knowledge;<br\/>the dhamma that you,<br\/>entering on,<br\/>are abiding in,<br\/>having realized it by your own super-knowledge,<br\/>is the dhamma that I,<br\/>entering on,<br\/>proclaim,<br\/>having realized it by my own super-knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">The dhamma that I know,<br\/>this is the dhamma that you know.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">That dhamma that you know,<br\/>this is the dhamma that I know.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">As I am,<br\/>so are you;<br\/>as you are,<br\/>so am I.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Come now, your reverence,<br\/>being just the two of us,<br\/>let us look after this group.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">In this way, Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja, did Uddaka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s son,<br\/>being my teacher,<br\/>set me \u2014 the pupil \u2014<br\/>on the same level as himself<br\/>and honoured me with the highest honour.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then it occurred to me, Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;This dhamma does not conduce to disregard<br\/>nor to dispassion<br\/>nor to stopping<br\/>nor to tranquillity<br\/>nor to super-knowledge<br\/>nor to awakening<br\/>nor to Nibb\u0101na,<br\/>but only as far as reaching the plane of neither-perception-nor-non-perception.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So I, Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja, not getting enough from this dhamma,<br\/>disregarded and turned away from this dhamma.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr class=\"hrctr\"\/>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then I, monka, a quester for whatever is good,<br\/>searching for the incomparable,<br\/>matchless path to peace,<br\/>walking on tour through Magadha<br\/>in due course arrived at Uruvela,<br\/>the camp township.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">There I saw a delightful stretch of land<br\/>and a lovely woodland grove,<br\/>and a clear flowing river<br\/>with a delightful ford,<br\/>and a village for support nearby.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">It occurred to me, Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Indeed it it is a delightful stretch of land,<br\/>and the woodland grove is lovely,<br\/>and the river flows clear<br\/>with a delightful ford,<br\/>and there is a village for support nearby.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Indeed this does well<br\/>for the striving<br\/>of a young man set on striving.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Moreover, Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja, three similes occurred to me spontaneously,<br\/>never heard before:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">It is as if there were a wet sappy stick placed in water;<br\/>then a man might come along<br\/>bringing an upper piece of fire-stick,<br\/>and thinking:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;I will light a fire,<br\/>I will get heat.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">What do you think about this, Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Could that man, bringing an upper piece of fire-stick,<br\/>and rubbing that wet sappy stick<br\/>that had been placed in water (with it),<br\/>light a fire,<br\/>could he get heat?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8220;No, good Gotama.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">What is the cause of this?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">It is, good Gotama,<br\/>that such a stick is wet and sappy<br\/>and that it was placed in water.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">That man would only get fatigue and distress.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8220;In like manner, Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja,<br\/>whatever recluses or brahmans dwell not aloof<br\/>from pleasures of the senses that are

class=\"ctr c\">\u25a0<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then, Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja, a second parable<br\/>occurred to me spontaneously,<br\/>never heard before.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">It is as if, Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja, a wet, sappy stick<br\/>were placed on dry ground,<br\/>far from water.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then a man might come along<br\/>bringing an upper piece of

this?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">It is, good Gotama, that that stick is wet and sappy<br\/>although it had been placed on dry ground,<br\/>far from water.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So that man would only get fatigue and distress.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8220;In like manner, Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja,<br\/>whatever recluses or brahmans dwell not aloof<br\/>from

Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja, <i>devat\u0101s,<\/i><br\/>having approached me,<br\/>spoke thus:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Do not, good sir,<br\/>take the line of desisting from all

take the line<br\/>of not eating anything,<br\/>and these <i>devat\u0101s<\/i> were to give me deva-like essences<br\/>to take in through the pores of the skin,<br\/>and that I should keep going by

me,<br\/>spoke thus:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;The recluse Gotama is black.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Other men spoke thus:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;The recluse Gotama is not black,<br\/>the recluse Gotama is deep brown.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Some men spoke thus:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;The recluse Gotama is not black,<br\/>he is not even deep brown,<br\/>the recluse Gotama is of a sallow colour.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">To such an extent, Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja,<br\/>was my clear pure complexion<br\/>spoilt because I ate so little.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">This, Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja, occurred to me:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Some recluses and brahmans<br\/>in the past<br\/>have experienced feelings that were acute,<br\/>painful,<br\/>sharp,<br\/>severe;<br\/>but this is paramount,<br\/>nor is there worse than this.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p

me:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;I know that while my father, the Sakyan,<br\/>was ploughing,<br\/>and I was sitting in the cool shade of a rose-apple tree,<br\/>aloof from pleasures of

occurred to me, Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Now it is not easy to reach that happiness<br\/>by thus subjecting the body<br\/>to extreme emaciation.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Suppose I were to take material nourishment &#8211;<br\/>boiled rice<br\/>and sour milk?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So I, Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja, took material nourishment &#8211;<br\/>boiled rice<br\/>and sour milk.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Now at that time, Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja,<br\/>five monks were attending

Bh\u0101radv\u0101ja, took material nourishment &#8211;<br\/>boiled rice<br\/>and sour milk &#8211;<br\/>then these five monks turned on me in disgust,<br\/>saying:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p
