sn12.32:14.1 But Sāriputta, suppose they were to ask you:
sn12.32:14.2 ‘But Reverend, how have you been liberated that you declare enlightenment:
sn12.32:14.3 “I understand: ‘Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is nothing further for this place.’”?’
sn12.32:14.4 How would you answer?”
sn12.32:14.5 “Sir, if they were to ask me this,
sn12.32:14.8 I’d answer:
sn12.32:14.9 ‘Because of an inner release with the ending of all grasping, I live mindfully so that defilements don’t defile me and I don’t look down on myself.’
sn12.32:14.10 That’s how I’d answer such a question.”
