Baka, a brahma who believes that his brahma-attainment is the highest attainment (Extracted from Brahma-nimantanika Sutta: The Brahma Invitation , Majjhima Nikaya – Tipitaka

This is permanent. This is eternal. This is total. This is not subject to falling away — for here one does not take birth, does not age, does not die, does not fall away, and does not reappear. And there is no other, higher escape.’

“When this was said, I told Baka Brahma, ‘How immersed in ignorance is Baka Brahma! How immersed in ignorance is Baka Brahma! — in that what is actually inconstant he calls “constant.” What is actually impermanent he calls “permanent.”

What is actually non-eternal he calls “eternal.” What is actually partial he calls “total.” What is actually subject to falling away he calls “not subject to falling away.”

Where one takes birth, ages, dies, falls away, and reappears, he says, “For here one does not take birth, does not age, does not die, does not fall away, does not reappear.

” And there being another, higher escape, he says, “There is no other, higher escape.”‘
