Suppose a person was to carry off the grass, sticks, branches, and leaves in this Jeta’s Grove, or burn them, or do what they want with them.

Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, yaṁ imasmiṁ jetavane tiṇakaṭṭhasākhāpalāsaṁ taṁ jano hareyya vā ḍaheyya vā yathāpaccayaṁ vā kareyya,

Would you think:

api nu tumhākaṁ evamassa:

‘This person is carrying us off, burning us, or doing what they want with us?’”

‘amhe jano harati vā ḍahati vā yathāpaccayaṁ vā karotī’”ti?

“No, sir.

“No hetaṁ, bhante”.

Why is that?

“Taṁ kissa hetu”?

Because that’s neither self nor belonging to self.”

“Na hi no etaṁ, bhante, attā vā attaniyaṁ vā”ti.

“In the same way, the eye isn’t yours: give it up.
