"Monks, there are these five persons existing and found in the world.
Which five?
Here, monks, a certain person commits violations and is remorseful;
and he does not understand as it really is that liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom where those arisen evil unwholesome mental states cease without remainder.
Here again, monks, a certain person commits violations, but is not remorseful; and he does not understand as it really is that liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom where those arisen evil unwholesome mental states cease without remainder.
Here again, monks, a certain person does not commit violations, but is remorseful; and he does not understand as it really is that liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom where those arisen evil unwholesome mental states cease without remainder.
Here again, monks, a certain person does not commit violations and is not remorseful; and he does not understand as it really is that liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom where those arisen evil unwholesome mental states cease without remainder.
Here again, monks, a certain person does not commit violations and is not remorseful; and he understands as it really is that liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom where those arisen evil unwholesome mental states cease without remainder.
There, monks, that person who commits violations and is remorseful, and does not understand as it really is that liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom where those arisen evil unwholesome mental states cease without remainder, he should be addressed thus - 'For the venerable one, mental corruptions born of violation exist, mental corruptions due to remorse increase; it would be good indeed if the venerable one, having abandoned the mental corruptions born of violation, having dispelled the mental corruptions due to remorse, would develop the mind and wisdom; thus the venerable one will become equal to that fifth person.'
There, monks, that person who commits violations but is not remorseful, and does not understand as it really is that liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom where those arisen evil unwholesome mental states cease without remainder, he should be addressed thus - 'For the venerable one, mental corruptions born of violation exist, mental corruptions due to remorse do not increase; it would be good indeed if the venerable one, having abandoned the mental corruptions born of violation, would develop the mind and wisdom; thus the venerable one will become equal to that fifth person.'
There, monks, that person who does not commit violations but is remorseful, and does not understand as it really is that liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom where those arisen evil unwholesome mental states cease without remainder, he should be addressed thus - 'For the venerable one, mental corruptions born of violation do not exist, mental corruptions due to remorse increase; it would be good indeed if the venerable one, having dispelled the mental corruptions due to remorse, would develop the mind and wisdom; thus the venerable one will become equal to that fifth person.'
There, monks, that person who does not commit violations and is not remorseful, and does not understand as it really is that liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom where those arisen evil unwholesome mental states cease without remainder, he should be addressed thus - 'For the venerable one, mental corruptions born of violation do not exist, mental corruptions due to remorse do not increase; it would be good indeed if the venerable one would develop the mind and wisdom; thus the venerable one will become equal to that fifth person.'
Thus indeed, monks, these four persons, thus exhorted and instructed by that fifth person, gradually attain the elimination of mental corruptions." The second.
