Purified mind consciousness, cut off from the senses, immersed in a realm of bliss and light.

@sujato Thank you Bhante. When you write ā€˜cut off from the sensesā€™, is this equivalent to ā€˜withdrawn from sensualityā€™?

Thank you. With metta.

Indeed yes. Kamehi here is plural, i.e. the senses, rather than desire for the senses, which is singular.
