SN 35.88 Punna Sutta

[pulga]

It reminds me of the passage from the Theragáthá:

‘‘Nābhinandāmi maraṇaṃ, nābhinandāmi jīvitaṃ;
Kālañca paṭikaṅkhāmi, nibbisaṃ bhatako yathā..

‘‘Nābhinandāmi maraṇaṃ, nābhinandāmi jīvitaṃ;
Kālañca paṭikaṅkhāmi, sampajāno patissato’’ti. Theragáthá 606 & 607

"I delight not in death, I delight not in life,
I await my time, like a hireling his wage;

I delight not in death, I delight not in life,
I await my time, mindful and fully aware."

It reflects the freedom from fear when one's life becomes utterly impersonal.

Pulga,

Sadhu to that! I whole-heartedly agree.
