Path of Freedom [Vimuttimagga]

300 Vimuttimaggaing, the five kinds of faring-on, the seven stations of intelligence, the nineabodes of sentience as impermanent, he grasps the idea of fear and causes thearising of the signless 1 through tranquillity. Attending to ill and fearingbirth, he causes the arising of the birth-less 2 through tranquillity. Attendingto not-self, he fears the sign of birth and causes the arising of the signless andthe birthless through tranquillity. He reviews tribulation and repulsion andobserves conformable patience. 3 This is the explanation in full.The cause of the arising of fear-know ledge has ended.KNOWLEDGE OF THE DESIRE FOR RELEASEPractising (the knowledge of) fear, that yogin produces the knowledgeof the desire for release. When he fears the sign of the aggregates, the knowledgeof the desire for release arises. When he fears the arising of the aggregates,the knowledge of the desire for release arises. When he fears the threeplanes of becoming, the five kinds of faring-on, the seven stations of intelligence,and the nine abodes of sentience, the knowledge of the desire for release arises.It is like a bird hemmed in by a fire desiring to escape it, and like a man surroundedby robbers seeking to get free of them. Thus if that yogin fears the causeof the aggregates, the coming to be of the aggregates, the three planes of becoming,the five kinds of ill-faring, the seven abodes of consciousness and the nineabodes of sentience,, the knowledge of the desire for release arises. 4 AttendingEvam eva kho bhikkhave upaddniyesu dhammesu assaddnupassino viharato tanhdpavaddhati.
