Sphere of Space

Ākāsānañc­āyatana (SN 28.5)

1-6. Sāvatthi. ... re ...

Venerable Ānanda saw venerable Sāriputta approaching in the distance and said to him: “Friend Sāriputta, your mental faculties are clear, your face seems clear. In what abiding did you spend the day?”

7-8. “Here, friend, I overcame all perceptions of matter and overcoming all perceptions of repulsion and not attending to various perceptions and with `space is boundless' I attained to the sphere of space.

Yet, friend, it did not occur to me, `I attained to the sphere of space, or got up from it''.”

“Friend Sāriputta, since long your latent tendency of measuring conceitedly has been completely destroyed, therefore it did not occur to you, `I attain, or attained to the sphere of space or got up from it''.”
