sn22.90:3.1 Then Venerable Channa thought,
sn22.90:3.2 “I too think in this way. …
sn22.90:3.12 And yet my mind does not leap forth, gain confidence, settle down, and become decided about the stilling of all activities, the letting go of all attachments, the ending of craving, fading away, cessation, extinguishment.
sn22.90:3.13 Because of anxiety, grasping arises
sn22.90:3.14 and keeps turning back to the thought:
sn22.90:3.15 ‘So who then is my self?’
sn22.90:3.16 But that doesn’t happen for someone who sees the teaching.
sn22.90:3.17 Who can teach me the Dhamma so that I can see the teaching?”
