Avusitaį¹ tena brahmacariyaį¹, ÄrakÄ so imasmÄ dhammavinayÄāti. has not completed the spiritual journey and is far from this teaching and training.ā
Evaį¹ vutte, aƱƱataro bhikkhu bhagavantaį¹ etadavoca: When he said this, one of the mendicants said to the Buddha,
āetthÄhaį¹, bhante, anassasaį¹. āHere, sir, Iām discouraged. Commentary traces anassasaį¹ (variant anassÄsiį¹) to ānas (perish), which Digital Pali Dictionary rejects as āunviableā. It is, rather, the present participle of na assasati, ādiscouraged, unconsoledā.
AhaƱhi, bhante, channaį¹ phassÄyatanÄnaį¹ samudayaƱca atthaį¹
gamaƱca assÄdaƱca ÄdÄ«navaƱca nissaraį¹aƱca yathÄbhÅ«taį¹ nappajÄnÄmÄ«āti. For I donāt truly understand the six fields of contactās origin, disappearance, gratification, drawback, and escape.ā

And regarding the eye, you will truly see clearly with right wisdom that: āThis is not mine, I am not this, this is not my self.ā The Buddha encourages with the future tense, rather than the optative āshouldā. This is an example of his knowledge of where all paths leads.
Esevanto dukkhassa ā¦peā¦ Just this is the end of suffering.
