And just so nobody thinks the suttas say a sotapanna smells like dung, to be clear, my humor here is definitely taking (dis)advantage** of the
Khemaka sutta, which describes cleaning a dirty cloth using three ingredients to remove a stain from the cloth (the ingredients are salt, lye and cow dung); the smell of these cleaning agents remains after the cleaning. It is to say while "I am" practicing to understand/to see the characteristic anatta, for example, the agent doing the practice and invesigation "I" exists and must be allowed to air out/dissolve away after even cravings are handled.
Soooo, the analogy goes on to say that the full end of the smells are handled this way: "The washerman gives it to the owners, the owners put it away in a scent-infused wicker hamper, and its lingering residual scent of salt earth, lye, or cow-dung is fully obliterated." An the agent "I am" is comparably dissipated as follows "As he keeps focusing on the arising & passing away of these five clinging-aggregates, the lingering residual 'I am' conceit, 'I am' desire,
'I am' obsession is fully obliterated."
