《049》如果心试图告诉你，你已经证得须陀洹果，那就去顶礼一位须陀洹圣者，他会亲自告诉你，这一切都是不稳定(无常)的。如果你遇见一位斯陀含圣者，就去跟他顶礼。当他看见你时，他只会简单地对你说：「没有任何稳定(常)的事物！」如果有一位阿那含，就去顶礼他，他只会告诉你一件事：「不稳定(无常)！」如果遇上阿罗汉，也去跟他顶礼，他甚至会更肯定地说：「这一切更不稳定(无常)！」你会听到圣者的言语：「一切事物都是不稳定(无常)的，不要去执着任何事物！」

If your mind tries to tell you it has already attained the level of sotapanna, go and bow to a sotapanna. He’ll tell you himself it’s all uncertain. If you meet a sakadagami, go and pay respects to him. When he sees you, he’ll simply say, "Not a sure thing!" If there’s an anagami, go and bow to him. He’ll tell you only one thing, "Uncertain!" If you meet even an arahant, go and bow to him. He’ll tell you even more firmly, "It’s all even more uncertain!" You’ll hear the words of the Noble Ones: "Everything is uncertain. Don’t cling to anything!"
