Friends:
Mission
Completed! Laid down is the burden!
The Buddha once
said about The Arahat: The
Perfected Worthy One:
For a Disciple thus released, whose mind dwells in pure peace, there is
nothing to be added to what has been done, and nothing more remains
for him to do. Just as a rock of one solid mass of granite stone stands
unshaken by any wind, even so do neither forms, nor sounds, nor smells,
nor tastes, nor contacts of any kind, whether attractive or repulsive,
disturb an Arahat.
Imperturbable is his mind, gained is release!

Arahat Qualities,
Best among Gods & Men,
Withdrawn_&_Accomplished
He who has considered all dualities, all differences, all contrasts here,
who is never anymore stirred or perturbed by anything in all this world!
Such Peaceful One, freed from rage, elevated above sorrow, & without
fumes of longing, he has passed beyond birth, decay & death...

FREED
For him who has completed this journey.
For him who is untouched by any pain or sorrow.
For him who is in every-way wholly freed.
For him who has broken all chains.
For such one, no Suffering is ever Possible!

CALM
Calm is his mind.
Calm is his speech.
Calm is his action.
So is the Tranquility;
So is the Equanimity;
of one freed by the
Insight
of absolute knowledge.

RADIANT
Whether in village or forest, on land, in the sea
or on the mountain; where Arahats dwell all is
indeed delightful, subtle and refined.

SOLITARY
Delighting are the forests, where the passionate
common
folks do not haunt their trivial pleasures...
There the cooled ones find the Bliss not of this World!
