mn63:3.1 Then in the late afternoon, Māluṅkyaputta came out of retreat and went to the Buddha. He bowed, sat down to one side, and told the Buddha of his thoughts. He then continued:
BAGIAN 3
mn63:3.17 “If the Buddha knows
mn63:3.18 that the cosmos is eternal, please tell me.
mn63:3.19 If you know
mn63:3.20 that the cosmos is not eternal, tell me.
mn63:3.21 If you don’t know
mn63:3.22 whether the cosmos is eternal or not, then it is straightforward to simply say:
mn63:3.23 ‘I neither know nor see.’
mn63:3.24 If you know
mn63:3.25 that the cosmos is finite,
mn63:3.27 or infinite;
mn63:3.32 that the soul and the body are one and the same,
mn63:3.34 or is the soul one thing, the body another;
mn63:3.39 that after death, a realized one still exists,
mn63:3.41 or no longer exists,
mn63:3.46 or both still exists and no longer exists, or neither still exists nor no longer exists, please tell me.
mn63:3.49 If you don’t know
mn63:3.50 any of these things, then it is straightforward to simply say:
mn63:3.51 ‘I neither know nor see.’”
