“Where do earth, water, fire and air no footing find? Where do long and short, small and great, pure and impure, name and form finally cease? The answer is:
It is in the consciousness of the Noble One
Invisible, boundless and all luminous. There it is that earth, water, fire and air
No footing find.
There it is that long and short, small and great, Pure and impure, name and form finally cease. When consciousness ceases, so does all this. ”
Digha Nikaya l.223
