The Discourse on the Seed
104.
"For a person of wrong view, monks, of wrong thought, of wrong speech, of wrong action, of wrong livelihood, of wrong effort, of wrong mindfulness, of wrong concentration, of wrong knowledge, of wrong liberation, whatever bodily action is complete and taken upon oneself according to that view, and whatever verbal action...
and whatever mental action is complete and taken upon oneself according to that view, and whatever volition, and whatever longing, and whatever aspiration, and whatever activities - all those mental states lead to the undesirable, to the unpleasant, to the disagreeable, to harm, to suffering.
What is the reason for this?
Because his view, monks, is evil.
"Just as, monks, a neem seed, or a bitter gourd seed, or a bitter calabash seed, planted in moist earth, whatever earth-essence it takes up, and whatever water-essence it takes up, all that leads to bitterness, to pungency, to unpleasantness. What is the reason for this? Because the seed, monks, is evil. So too, monks, for a person of wrong view, of wrong thought, of wrong speech, of wrong action, of wrong livelihood, of wrong effort, of wrong mindfulness, of wrong concentration, of wrong knowledge, of wrong liberation, whatever bodily action is complete and taken upon oneself according to that view, and whatever verbal action... and whatever mental action is complete and taken upon oneself according to that view, and whatever volition, and whatever longing, and whatever aspiration, and whatever activities - all those mental states lead to the undesirable, to the unpleasant, to the disagreeable, to harm, to suffering. What is the reason for this? Because his view, monks, is evil.
"For a person of right view, monks, of right thought, of right speech, of right action, of right livelihood, of right effort, of right mindfulness, of right concentration, of right knowledge, of right liberation, whatever bodily action is complete and taken upon oneself according to that view, and whatever verbal action is complete and taken upon oneself according to that view, and whatever mental action is complete and taken upon oneself according to that view, and whatever volition, and whatever longing, and whatever aspiration, and whatever activities - all those mental states lead to the desirable, to the pleasant, to the agreeable, to welfare, to happiness. What is the reason for this? Because his view, monks, is excellent.
"Just as, monks, a sugar-cane seed, or a rice seed, or a grape seed, planted in moist earth, whatever earth-essence it takes up, and whatever water-essence it takes up, all that leads to pleasantness, to sweetness, to deliciousness. What is the reason for this? Because the seed, monks, is excellent. So too, monks, for a person of right view... etc. of right liberation, whatever bodily action is complete and taken upon oneself according to that view, and whatever verbal action... and whatever mental action is complete and taken upon oneself according to that view, and whatever volition, and whatever longing, and whatever aspiration, and whatever activities - all those mental states lead to the desirable, to the pleasant, to the agreeable, to welfare, to happiness. What is the reason for this? Because his view, monks, is excellent." The fourth.
