The Discourse with Verses

166.More DetailsCommentaries He was dwelling at Sāvatthī, etc. "Severe, monks, is material gain, honour and fame, etc. for the achievement. Here I, monks, see a certain person overpowered by honour, with mind consumed, upon the body's collapse at death, arisen in a realm of misery, an unfortunate realm, a nether world, in hell. But here I, monks, see a certain person overpowered by dishonour, with mind consumed, upon the body's collapse at death, arisen in a realm of misery, an unfortunate realm, a nether world, in hell. But here I, monks, see a certain person overpowered by honour and dishonour, by both of these, with mind consumed, upon the body's collapse at death, arisen in a realm of misery, an unfortunate realm, a nether world, in hell. Thus severe, monks, is material gain, honour and fame, etc. thus indeed, monks, should you train."

This is what the Blessed One said. Having said this, the Fortunate One, the Teacher, further said this -

"For one being honoured, or by dishonour, or by both;

Whose concentration does not waver, of one dwelling in the limitless.

"That meditator, acting continuously, subtle, one who sees with insight into views;

Delighting in the elimination of clinging, they call a good person." The tenth.
