One will then enter the "state" where one sees truly and penetrates the Dhamma until arriving at the final ceasing of the citta. Going beyond the conventional truths includes the Dhamma. All senses, which are illusions, and even the citta itself, are all conventional truths. It does not matter what we talk about or when; no subjects go beyond conventional truths. Stopping thought is to stop talk, movement and the actions of the citta. This means stopping everything worldly or the cycle of existence (Samsaravattha) because the citta can only think in terms of things external, created and of the world. Knowledge must have a subject that is known this is self-evident. Whether physical or mental, when that thing is known, it has a state and when it has a state it must be of the nature to cease. This is because it is something created and dependent on conditions.

　　Therefore, the factor of enlightenment, which is equanimity (Upekkhasambojanga), is difficult to express in words and is, called a "state" only conventionally so that one can understand. In truth the state of equanimity is just peace and knowing. All things are equal, whether animal, person, we, they or even Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha or Bodhisattas. All worldly people and beings have the same nature and are equal in all respects.

　　When clinging to various views or thinking outside of true Dhamma, all actions, practices and Dhamma conduct (Cariya-Dhamma) are then seen as multiple and different, creating dualities. When one reaches the true state of Dhamma, they see that external things around them and themselves are, in truth, one and the same.

　　In short, the state of Truth or that which is called "Saccadhamma" is always present and if one does not give up or relax in their efforts one has the chance to attain this state of Saccadhamma for sure. As far as all the ceremonies and merit making activities are concerned, they are things that still create good kamma but for the practitioner, they may think that it is the lesser good only.
