Visuddhimagga XXIII-44

Yo pana bhikkhu ākiñcaññāyatanato vuṭṭhāya idaṃ pubbakiccaṃ akatvā nevasaññānāsaññāyatanaṃ samāpajjati, so parato acittako bhavituṃ na sakkoti, paṭinivattitvā puna ākiñcaññāyataneyeva patiṭṭhāti. Maggaṃ agatapubbapurisūpamā cettha vattabbā –

其次如果那比丘从无所有处定出定，不行这预备工作，入非想非非想处定，则此后不能成为无心，唯又退转住于无所有处。这里当说行于未曾行过的道路的人的譬喻：

Ñ(XXIII,44): But if a bhikkhu emerges from the base consisting of nothingness without having done this preparatory task and then attains the base consisting of neither perception nor non-perception, he is unable then to become without consciousness: he returns to the base consisting of nothingness and settles down there.
