12 (2)Underlying Tendencies (2)
"Bhikkhus,the spiritual life is lived to abandon and eradicate the seven underlying tendencies.
What seven?
The underlying tendency to sensual lust,the underlying tendency to aversion,the underlying tendency to views,the underlying tendency to doubt,the underlying tendency to conceit,the underlying tendency to lust for existence,and the underlying tendency to ignorance.
The spiritual life is lived to abandon and eradicate these seven underlying tendencies.
"When a bhikkhu has abandoned the underlying tendency to sensual lust;cut it off at the root,made it like a palm stump,obliterated it so that it is no more subject to future arising;
when he has abandoned the underlying tendency to aversion...the underlying tendency to views...the underlying tendency todoubt...the underlying tendency to conceit...the uinderlying tendency to lust for existence:..the underlying tendency to ignorance,cut it off at the root,made it like a palm stump,obliterated it so that it is no more subject to future arising,
he is then called abhikkhu without underlying tendencies,
Niranusayo is not in Be or Ee.Ee notes variant readings in manuscripts.But see SNIV 205,17,where Be has niranusayo,as against Ce and Ee pahinaraganusayo.one who has cut off craving,stripped off the fetter,and by completely breaking through conceit,has made an end of suffering."[10]
