Thank you very much for your explanations, sir.
- I’m not entirely sure if it’s appropriate to say this, but it seems like an invitation to cultivate the Jhānas. Joy, rapture, and tranquility are all components of the Jhānas. By practicing the Jhānas, a sotāpanna can easily progress to the higher stages. The Jhānas bring a peaceful state of mind, which can aid one in comprehending the Dhamma more easily, particularly after reaching the sotāpanna stage. However, it’s important to note that the Jhānas are not a requirement to reach the other stages.
