A doubt
Wrong perception,
A by-product of negligence,
For a long time, a struggle of mind,
Vipassanā as the mind like a diamond,
Originally, instead of a mind-like thunder,
Where arahant mind like a diamond,
One with the accomplishment of full enlightenment,
And third mentality, the mind like an open sore,
But why such lag for a long time,
In the understanding of sutta,
The struggle within the mind,
A diamond, not hard enough,
Even a threshold for diamonds against pressure,
Very like momentary Nibbana, the Vipassanā,
More specifically, a mind in the practice of Vipassanā,
Perhaps in ancient times, no such knowledge of the property of diamonds,
If so even a veil of illusion for the Lord Buddha,
But not so, even with an arahant,
Because of the deathlessness, and timelessness of Nibbana,
As per The Raft Simile (Alagaddūpama Sutta, MN 22),
Raft-like nature of teachings,
Non-adherence to raft after journey,
Likewise, non-adherence to teaching after liberation, even good ones,
The Arrow Simile (Cūḷamālukya Sutta, MN 63),
No answer to metaphysical questions by Lord Buddha,
Because, awakening, no metaphysical thing,
The Snake Simile (Alagaddūpama Sutta, MN 22),
Misapplication of dhamma, like grasping of snake by tail,
Use of dhamma for criticism or debate, not for advice,
Moreover, metaphors, if a matter of permanence,
Then, why not focus on the teaching of metaphors alone,
But, instead, a simple or effective way,
Alignment with the conventional beliefs,
For easy understanding,
So, open sore, a worldling without instructions,
Mind-like thunder, the mind with knowledge of four noble truths
And mind-like diamond, the mind with liberation.
