Commentary on the Pabbajjā Sutta
59. In the ninth, "therefore" - because thus for one whose mind is unpractised the goal of asceticism is not achieved, therefore. "Our mind will be practised in accordance with the going forth" means practised in a manner befitting the going forth. For whoever goes forth, all of them do so having aspired to arahantship. Therefore, whatever mind has been practised and developed for the purpose of the achievement of arahantship, that should be understood as called "practised in accordance with the going forth." But "such a mind will be" - thus should one train. "The righteousness and unrighteousness of the world" means the good conduct and bad conduct of the world of beings. "The existence and non-existence of the world" means its growth and destruction, likewise its success and failure. "The origin and passing away of the world" however is said with reference to the world of activities; the meaning is the arising and breaking up of the aggregates.
