an11.11:3.1 “Good, good, Mahānāma!
BAGIAN 3
an11.11:3.2 It’s appropriate that gentlemen such as you come to me and ask:
an11.11:3.3 ‘We spend our life in various ways. Which of these should we practice?’
an11.11:3.4 The faithful succeed, not the faithless.
an11.11:3.5 The energetic succeed, not the lazy.
an11.11:3.6 The mindful succeed, not the unmindful.
an11.11:3.7 Those with immersion succeed, not those without immersion.
an11.11:3.8 The wise succeed, not the witless.
an11.11:3.9 When you’re grounded on these five things, go on to develop six further things.
an11.11:3.10 Firstly, you should recollect the Realized One:
an11.11:3.11 ‘That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those fit for training, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.’
an11.11:3.12 When a noble disciple recollects the Realized One their mind is not full of greed, hate, and delusion.
an11.11:3.13 At that time their mind is quite unswerving, based on the Realized One.
an11.11:3.14 A noble disciple whose mind is unswerving finds inspiration in the meaning and the teaching, and finds joy connected with the teaching.
an11.11:3.15 When they’re joyful, rapture springs up. When the mind is full of rapture, the body becomes tranquil. When the body is tranquil, they feel bliss. And when they’re blissful, the mind becomes immersed in samādhi.
an11.11:3.16 This is called a noble disciple who lives in balance among people who are unbalanced, and lives untroubled among people who are troubled. They’ve entered the stream of the teaching and developed the recollection of the Buddha.
