As it is said near the very beginning of that great Theravada text the "Vishuddhi Magga"......."who succeeds in disentangling this tangle?"
(One of these days I must try to get beyond page 2)
[Jata]
A tangle within, a tangle without, people are entangled in a tangle. Gotama, I ask you this: who can untangle this tangle?
[The Buddha:]
A man established in virtue, discerning, developing discernment & mind, a monk ardent, astute: he can untangle this tangle.
