Iti 6 · uttaka 6
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: “Abandon one quality, monks, and I guarantee you non-return. Which one quality? Abandon conceit as the one quality, and I guarantee you non-return.”
The conceit with which
beings go to a bad destination,
proud:
from rightly knowing that conceit,
those who see clearly
let go.
Letting go,
they never come to this world
again.
