“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato suṇantopi saddhammaṁ abhabbo niyāmaṁ okkamituṁ kusalesu dhammesu sammattaṁ. “Bhikkhus, someone with five qualities is unable to enter the sure path in regard to beneficial qualities even when listening to the true teaching. Katamehi pañcahi? What five? Kathaṁ paribhoti, kathikaṁ paribhoti, attānaṁ paribhoti, duppañño hoti jaḷo eḷamūgo, anaññāte aññātamānī hoti. They discredit the talk, the speaker, or themselves. They’re witless, dull, and stupid. They think they understand what they don’t understand. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato suṇantopi saddhammaṁ abhabbo niyāmaṁ okkamituṁ kusalesu dhammesu sammattaṁ. Someone with these five qualities is unable to enter the sure path in regard to beneficial qualities even when listening to the true teaching.
