One will think whatever thought one wishes to think and one will not think any thought that one does not wish to think. One has severed craving, flung off the fetters, and with the complete penetration of conceit one has made an end of dukkha. (MN 20)

One has an equanimous mind – indifferent to praise or blame – is calm, and free from pride (Sn.702). One has renounced desire for sensual pleasures and developed empathy for others (Sn.704–5). Consequently, one does not kill or cause to kill. One is of modest needs and without covetousness (Sn.707). Moreover, one is as sharp ‘as a razor’s edge’. One should neither have an inactive mind nor think too much (Sn.716). ‘One should be without taints, not dependent, having holy living as his aim’ (Sn.717). One should train oneself in solitude (Sn.718) since ‘the state of being alone is called sagehood’. One is knowingly self-restrained and speaks little (Sn.723). Sutta Nipata 3.11, part 2
