“Bhikkhus, for a faithful disciple who is intent on fathoming the Dhamma[ref]lit. “Teacher’s Dispensation”[/ref], it is natural that he conduct himself this: ‘The Gracious One is the Teacher, I am a disciple; The Gracious One knows, I do not know.’ For a faithful disciple who is intent on fathoming the Dhamma, the Dhamma is nourishing and refreshing. For a faithful disciple who is intent on fathoming the Dhamma, it is natural that he conducts himself thus: ‘Willingly, let only my skin, sinews, and bones remain, and let the flesh and blood dry up on my body, but my energy shall not be relaxed so long as I have not attained what can be attained by strength, energy, and persistence.’ For a faithful disciple who is intent on fathoming the Dhamma, one of two fruits may be expected: either final knowledge here and now or, if there is a trace of clinging left, non-return.” – MN 70

“Này các Tỷ-kheo, đối với một đệ tử có lòng tin giáo pháp bậc Ðạo sư và sống thể nhập giáo pháp ấy, thời tùy pháp được khởi lên: “Bậc Ðạo sư là Thế Tôn, đệ tử là tôi. Thế Tôn biết, tôi không biết”. Này các Tỷ-kheo, đến với một đệ tử, có lòng tin giáo pháp bậc Ðạo sư và sống thể nhập giáo pháp ấy, thời giáo pháp bậc Ðạo sư được hưng thịnh, được nhiều sinh lực. Này các Tỷ-kheo, đối với đệ tử có lòng tin giáo pháp bậc Ðạo Sư và sống thể nhập giáo pháp ấy, thời tùy pháp này được khởi lên: “Dầu chỉ còn da, gân và xương, dầu thịt và máu trên thân bị khô héo, mong rằng sẽ có tinh tấn lực để chứng đắc những gì chưa chứng đắc, nhờ trượng phu nhẫn nại, nhờ trượng phu tinh tấn, nhờ trượng phu cần dõng”.

「比丘們！對在大師的教誡上深入、轉起的有信弟子來說，這是如法的：『世尊是大師，我是弟子；世尊知道，我不知道。』比丘們！對在大師的教誡上深入、轉起的有信弟子來說，大師的教誡是使人復原的、滋養的。比丘們！對在大師的教誡上深入、轉起的有信弟子來說，這是如法的：『樂於只要剩下皮膚、肌腱、骨骸；只要身體的血肉枯乾，只要以人的毅力、人的活力、人的努力應該達成而未達成者，將沒有活力的止息。』 比丘們！對在大師的教誡上深入、轉起的有信弟子來說，二果其中之一果應該可以被預期：當生完全智，或當存在有餘依時，為不還者狀態。」
