11. “Assaji, do you have any doubts or any remorse?” “Venerable sir, I have many doubts and remorse too.”
12. “Assaji, do you have any blames for the self on account of your virtues?” “Venerable sir, I have no blames from the self on account of my virtues.
13. “Assaji since you do not have any blames from the self on account of your virtues, on account of what do you have doubts and remorse?” “Venerable sir, earlier when I fell ill I overcame my illness and abode remorseful of my in and out breaths. Now I cannot gain that concentration and it occurs to me isn’t it that I am decreasing?” .
14. “Assaji, recluses and brahmins who have reached the essence of concentration and the recluseship do not loose that gain of concentration and it does not occur to them, I decrease from it.”
15. Assaji is matter permanent or impermanent?”…………….
