> [!success] Sick (Ātura) in the body, but Healthy in [[Citta|Mind]] — In Nakulapitusutta ([SN22.1](https://suttacentral.net/sn22.1/en/sujato))
> And how is one **==ailing in body and healthy in mind==**?
> _Kathañca, gahapati, **==āturakāyo==** hi kho hoti **==no ca āturacitto==**?_

> It’s when a learned noble disciple has seen the noble ones, and is skilled and trained in the teaching of the noble ones. They’ve seen true persons, and are skilled and trained in the teaching of the true persons.
> _Idha, gahapati, sutavā ariyasāvako ariyānaṁ dassāvī ariyadhammassa kovido ariyadhamme suvinīto sappurisānaṁ dassāvī sappurisadhammassa kovido sappurisadhamme suvinīto_

> **==They don’t regard form as self, self as having form, form in self, or self in form==**.
> _na rūpaṁ attato samanupassati, na rūpavantaṁ vā attānaṁ; na attani vā rūpaṁ, na rūpasmiṁ vā attānaṁ._
>
> **==They’re not obsessed with the thought: ‘I am form, form is mine!==**’
> _‘Ahaṁ rūpaṁ, mama rūpan’ti na pariyuṭṭhaṭṭhāyī hoti._
>
> So when that form of theirs **decays and perishes**,
> _Tassa ‘ahaṁ rūpaṁ, mama rūpan’ti apariyuṭṭhaṭṭhāyino, taṁ rūpaṁ vipariṇamati aññathā hoti._
>
> **it doesn’t give rise to sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress**.
> _Tassa rūpavipariṇāmaññathābhāvā nuppajjanti sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsā._
>
> _... (as for feeling, perception, preparation, and consciousness)_
>
> **==That’s how an individual is ailing in body and healthy in mind.==**”
> _Evaṁ kho, gahapati, **==āturakāyo==** hoti **==no ca āturacitto==**”ti._
