A. 12. Gautama! Suppose there's a dry gourd without a leak, without a crack. That gourd is wrapped carefully with kusa and darva grass. Then it is given a coat of clay and dried in the sun, and the process is repeated eight times. Then it is thrown in uncrossable, one-man deep water. Tell me, Gautama, does that gourd, because of the weight due to eight coats of clay, due to its heaviness, due to its weight and heaviness, reach the bottom of the water and touch the earth underneath?
-Yes, it does.
And then because of its remaining inside the water, as the eight coats of clay get diluted and separated, then, does the gourd leave the bottom and come to surface of the water again?
the
- Yes, it does.
- Indeed, in the same manner, oh Gautama, a soul freed from the fetters of karma attains its own goal because of non-association, non-attachment and transmigration.
