PāliPali
“Mendicants, I will teach you who lives negligently and who lives diligently. Listen … And how does someone live negligently? When you live with the eye faculty unrestrained, your mind becomes polluted when it comes to sights known by the eye. When the mind is polluted, there’s no joy. When there’s no joy, there’s no rapture. When there’s no rapture, there’s no tranquility. When there’s no tranquility, there’s suffering. When one is suffering, the mind does not become immersed in samādhi. When the mind is not immersed in samādhi, principles do not become clear. Because principles have not become clear, you’re reckoned to live negligently. When you live with the ear … nose … tongue … body … mind faculty unrestrained, your mind becomes polluted when it comes to ideas known by the mind. When the mind is polluted, there’s no joy. When there’s no joy, there’s no rapture. When there’s no rapture, there’s no tranquility. When there’s no tranquility, there’s suffering. When one is suffering, the mind does not become immersed in samādhi. When the mind is not immersed in samādhi, principles do not become clear. Because principles have not become clear, you’re reckoned to live negligently. That’s how someone lives negligently.
“Pamādavihāriñca vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi appamādavihāriñca. Taṁ suṇātha. Kathañca, bhikkhave, pamādavihārī hoti? Cakkhundriyaṁ asaṁvutassa, bhikkhave, viharato cittaṁ byāsiñcati cakkhuviññeyyesu rūpesu. tassa byāsittacittassa pāmojjaṁ na hoti. Pāmojje asati pīti na hoti. Pītiyā asati passaddhi na hoti. Passaddhiyā asati dukkhaṁ hoti. Dukkhino cittaṁ na samādhiyati. Asamāhite citte dhammā na pātubhavanti. Dhammānaṁ apātubhāvā pamādavihārītveva saṅkhaṁ gacchati …pe… jivhindriyaṁ asaṁvutassa, bhikkhave, viharato cittaṁ byāsiñcati jivhāviññeyyesu rasesu, tassa byāsittacittassa …pe… pamādavihārītveva saṅkhaṁ gacchati …pe… manindriyaṁ asaṁvutassa, bhikkhave, viharato cittaṁ byāsiñcati manoviññeyyesu dhammesu, tassa byāsittacittassa pāmojjaṁ na hoti. Pāmojje asati pīti na hoti. Pītiyā asati passaddhi na hoti. Passaddhiyā asati dukkhaṁ hoti. Dukkhino cittaṁ na samādhiyati. Asamāhite citte dhammā na pātubhavanti. Dhammānaṁ apātubhāvā pamādavihārītveva saṅkhaṁ gacchati. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pamādavihārī hoti.
And how does someone live diligently? When you live with the eye faculty restrained, your mind doesn’t become polluted when it comes to sights known by the eye. When the mind isn’t polluted, joy springs up. Being joyful, rapture springs up. When the mind is full of rapture, the body becomes tranquil. When the body is tranquil, one feels bliss. And when blissful, the mind becomes immersed in samādhi. When the mind is immersed in samādhi, principles become clear. Because principles have become clear, you’re reckoned to live diligently. When you live with the ear … nose … tongue … body … mind faculty restrained, your mind doesn’t become polluted when it comes to ideas known by the mind. When the mind isn’t polluted, joy springs up. Being joyful, rapture springs up. When the mind is full of rapture, the body becomes tranquil. When the body is tranquil, one feels bliss. And when blissful, the mind becomes immersed in samādhi. When the mind is immersed in samādhi, principles become clear. Because principles have become clear, you’re reckoned to live diligently. That’s how someone lives diligently.”
Kathañca, bhikkhave, appamādavihārī hoti? Cakkhundriyaṁ saṁvutassa, bhikkhave, viharato cittaṁ na byāsiñcati cakkhuviññeyyesu rūpesu, tassa abyāsittacittassa pāmojjaṁ jāyati. Pamuditassa pīti jāyati. Pītimanassa kāyo passambhati. Passaddhakāyo sukhaṁ viharati. Sukhino cittaṁ samādhiyati. Samāhite citte dhammā pātubhavanti. Dhammānaṁ pātubhāvā appamādavihārītveva saṅkhaṁ gacchati …pe… jivhindriyaṁ saṁvutassa, bhikkhave, viharato cittaṁ na byāsiñcati …pe… appamādavihārītveva saṅkhaṁ gacchati.

Catutthaṁ.
