Nevasaññānāsaññāyatana (SN 28.8)
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 the sphere of nothingness and was neither perceptive nor non-perceptive. Yet, friend, it did not occur to me, `I was neither perceptive nor non-perceptive'.”
“Friend Sāriputta, since long your latent tendency of measuring conceitedly has been completely destroyed, therefore it did not occur to you, `I was perceptive or non-perceptive'.”
