Discourse on the Companion
59. (The deva said:)
"What
is the companion of a being?
What admonishes him?
Delighting in what, is
a being free from all forms of dukkha?"
(The Bhagava said:)
"Religious conviction is the companion of a
being.
Wisdom admonishes him.
Delighting in Nibbana, a being is free from all forms of
dukkha."
