Wrong-minded people do voice opinions
as do truth-minded people too.
When an opinion is stated, the sage is not drawn in—
there's nothing arid about the sage.
Nowhere does a lucid one
hold contrived views about it is or it is not.
How could he succumb to them,
having let go of illusions and conceit?
The priest without borders
doesn't seize on what he's known or beheld.
Not passionate, not dispassionate,
he doesn't posit anything as ultimate.
---Atthaka Vagga---
