SN1.7: Appaṭividitasutta

Appaṭividitasutta: Not Penetrated - translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi

At Savatthi. Standing to one side, that devatā recited this verse in the presence of the Blessed One:

“Those who have not penetrated things,
Who may be led into others’ doctrines,
Fast asleep, they have not yet awakened:
It is time for them to awaken.”

The Blessed One:

“Those who have penetrated things well,
Who cannot be led into others’ doctrines,
Those awakened ones, having rightly known,
Fare evenly amidst the uneven.”
