A person, when aversive, doesnât know his own welfare; when aversive, doesnât see Dhamma. Overcome with aversion heâs in the dark, blind. But when one, abandoning aversion, feels no aversion for what would merit aversion, aversion drops away from him– like a palm leaf from its stem. Delusion causes harm. Delusion provokes the mind. People donât realize it as a danger born from within. A person, when deluded, doesnât know his own welfare; when deluded, doesnât see Dhamma. Overcome with delusion heâs in the dark, blind. But when one, abandoning delusion, feels no delusion for what would merit delusion, he disperses all delusion– as the rising of the sun, the dark. See also: MN 5 - --> - - - -
