The noble disciple parts with desire and bad and unskillful things. With perception and examination, this seclusion produces joy and happiness, and he accomplishes and dwells in the first dhyāna. This is called the first progressive mental state acquired by the noble disciple, which is easy and not difficult to attain. — The Buddha, Madhyama Āgama
