“Cattārimāni, bhikkhave, acinteyyāni, na cintetabbāni; yāni cintento ummādassa vighātassa bhāgī assa. “Mendicants, these four things are unthinkable. They should not be thought about, and anyone who tries to think about them will go mad or get frustrated.
Katamāni cattāri? What four?
Buddhānaṁ, bhikkhave, buddhavisayo acinteyyo, na cintetabbo; The domain of the Buddhas …
yaṁ cintento ummādassa vighātassa bhāgī assa.
Jhāyissa, bhikkhave, jhānavisayo acinteyyo, na cintetabbo; The domain of one in absorption …
yaṁ cintento ummādassa vighātassa bhāgī assa.

yaṁ cintento ummādassa vighātassa bhāgī assa.
Lokacintā, bhikkhave, acinteyyā, na cintetabbā; Speculation about the world …
yaṁ cintento ummādassa vighātassa bhāgī assa.
Imāni kho, bhikkhave, cattāri acinteyyāni, na cintetabbāni; yāni cintento ummādassa vighātassa bhāgī assā”ti. These are the four unthinkable things. They should not be thought about, and anyone who tries to think about them will go mad or get frustrated.”
