5 Pañisambhidhàpatta-arahat – one who possess the four<br />

sambhidhàs, i.e. the knowledge of the meaning of the each<br />

word, the knowledge of the text (pàli), the knowledge<br />

of the origin of the words, and the determinate<br />

knowledge together with the accurate discrimination<br />

of the first three.<br />

Conclusion<br />

Cittena niyate loko. The citta ( consciousness) rules over all the<br />

world. The citta of every person controls the person, leads his<br />

every action and shapes his destiny.<br />

Men’s mind has produced modern science, has been<br />

developing it very rapidly and controls all the science technology<br />

including the atomic energy and the atomic weapons.<br />

It is men’s mind which has shaped various cultures of the<br />

world and it will be men’s minds again which will direct the<br />

hands to pull the triggers of the atomic weapons which will wipe<br />

out the human civilization and the human race from the surface<br />

of the earth.<br />

Indeed the mind is the most powerful agent in all the worlds.<br />

It is the mind which manipulates the fate of each individual to<br />

be born in an apàya abode or in the human world or in a deva<br />

realm.<br />

So it is of paramount importance to understand the true<br />

nature of the mind and the function of each constituent of the<br />

mind.<br />

There is no doubt that only the <strong>Buddha</strong> <strong>Abhidhamma</strong> can<br />

analyse the mind in detail and correctly describe the functions<br />

of the citta and the cetasikas which constitute the mind.
