Kathañcānanda, appaṇidhāya bhāvanā hoti? And how is there undirected development? Bahiddhā, ānanda, bhikkhu cittaṁ appaṇidhāya ‘appaṇihitaṁ me bahiddhā cittan’ti pajānāti. Not directing their mind externally, a mendicant understands: ‘My mind is not directed externally.’ Atha pacchāpure ‘asaṅkhittaṁ vimuttaṁ appaṇihitan’ti pajānāti. And they understand: ‘Over a period of time it’s unconstricted, freed, and undirected.’ Bahiddhā, ānanda, bhikkhu cittaṁ appaṇidhāya ‘appaṇihitaṁ me bahiddhā cittan’ti pajānāti. Not directing their mind externally, a mendicant understands: ‘My mind is not directed externally.’ Atha pacchāpure ‘asaṅkhittaṁ vimuttaṁ appaṇihitan’ti pajānāti.

Iti kho, ānanda, desitā mayā paṇidhāya bhāvanā, desitā appaṇidhāya bhāvanā. So, Ānanda, I’ve taught you directed development and undirected development.
