Attention
Manasikāra (AN 11.8)
Ṭhen venerable Ānanda approached The Blessed One, worshipped, sat on a side and said:
“Venerable sir, is there a concentration in which, the eye and forms do not attend reciprocally, the ear and sounds do not attend reciprocally, the nose and smells do not attend reciprocally, the tongue and tastes do not attend reciprocally, the body and touches do not attend reciprocally. The mind does not attend to earth, water, fire or air, as earth, water, fire and air. The mind does not attend to the sphere of space as the sphere of space, the sphere of consciousness, as the sphere of consciousness The sphere of nothingness as the sphere of nothingness and the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, as the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception. The mind does not attend to this world as this world or attend to the other world, as the other world. The mind does not attend to whatever seen, heard, experienced, cognized and searched by the mind, as the seen, heard, experienced, cognized and searched by the mind. Yet the mind is attentive.
“Ānanda, there is that concentration to the bhikkhu, in which, the eye and forms do not attend reciprocally, the ear and sounds do not attend reciprocally, the nose and smells do not attend reciprocally, the tongue and tastes do not attend reciprocally, the body and touches do not attend reciprocally. The mind does not attend to earth, water, fire or air, as earth, water, fire and air. The mind does not attend to the sphere of space as the sphere of space, the sphere of consciousness, as the sphere of consciousness The sphere of nothingness as the sphere of nothingness and the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, as the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception.

The mind does not attend to whatever seen, heard, experienced, cognized and searched by the mind, as the seen, heard, experienced, cognized and searched by the mind. Yet the mind is attentive.
“Venerable sir, how is that concentration to the bhikkhu in which the eye and forms do not attend reciprocally ... re ... Do not attend to whatever seen, heard, experinced, cognized and searched by the mind yet the mind is attentive?"
“Here, Ānanda, the bhikkhu is attentive thus: This is peaceful, this is exalted, such as the appeasement of all determinations, giving up of all endearments, destruction of craving, disenchantment, cessation and extinction. Thus there is that concentration to the bhikkhu in which the eye and forms do not attend reciprocally ... re ... Do not attend to whatever seen, heard, experinced, cognized and searched by the mind yet the mind is attentive.
