25(5)Assisted

"Bhikkhus,when right view is assisted by five factors,it has liberation of mind as its fruit,liberation of mind as its fruit and benefit;it has liberation by wisdom as its fruit,liberation by wisdom as its fruit and benefit.·Mp:“Right view here is the right view of insight.Liberation of mind (cetovimutti)is the concentration of the path and fruit,and liberation by wisdom (pannavimutti)is the knowledge of the fruit.” PsI164,29-31,commenting on cetovimuttim pannāvimuttim at MNI 35,36-37,identifies liberation of mind with the concentration per- taining to the fruit of arahantship,and liberation by wisdom with the wisdom pertaining to the fruit of arahantship.

When right view is assisted by these five factors,it has liberation of mind as its fruit,liberation of mind as its fruit and benefit;it has liberation by wisdom as its fruit,liberation by wisdom as its fruit and benefit."
