Ajahn Buddhadāsa Bhikkhu

Ultimately, the meaning of both viveka and nibbana is that the mind is totally free from all dukkha.

So these words don't mean death.

They mean a coolness, a peacefulness,

when the mind isn't troubled or pained by anything.

When the mind is quenched, it is not dead.

It is just quenched.

All the fires are put out.

If you practice mindfulness diligently and correctly, you'll be more and more successful.

And this will lead to four things.

You'll get very four valuable things from this practice.

Sampajjana, which is wisdom in action, a specifically applied wisdom.

These are the natural results of a correct practice.

And then these are of tremendous benefit in how we live our lives.

In ordinary circumstances, it begins with sati.

Mindfulness then recollects wisdom, brings wisdom to the situation.

That general wisdom that we have developed then is applied to the specific situation.

Just the wisdom necessary for dealing with this situation.

And that is called Sampajanya.

These are developed through a good practice of mindfulness.

And then once we have these four, they will enable us to live life with Viveka.
