1“Mendicants, suppose a mendicant has a sensual, malicious, or cruel thought while walking. They tolerate it and don’t give it up, get rid of it, eliminate it, and obliterate it. Such a mendicant is said to be ‘not keen or prudent, always lazy, and lacking energy’ when walking.

9Whether walking or standing,
sitting or lying down,
if you think a bad thought
to do with the lay life,

10you’re on the wrong path,
lost among things that delude.
Such a mendicant is incapable
of touching the highest awakening.

11But one who, whether standing or walking,
sitting or lying down,
has calmed their thoughts,
loving peace of mind;
such a mendicant is capable
of touching the highest awakening.”

Yo vitakkaṁ vitakketi,

Abhabbo tādiso bhikkhu,
Phuṭṭhuṁ sambodhimuttamaṁ.

Paṭhamaṁ.
