The Discourse on Sagacity
123.
"There are, monks, these three kinds of sagacity.
What three?
Bodily sagacity, verbal sagacity, mental sagacity.
And what, monks, is bodily sagacity?
Here, monks, a monk abstains from killing living beings, abstains from taking what is not given, abstains from not practising the holy life.
This is called, monks, bodily sagacity.
"And what, monks, is verbal sagacity? Here, monks, a monk abstains from lying, abstains from divisive speech, abstains from harsh speech, abstains from idle chatter. This is called, monks, verbal sagacity.
"And what, monks, is mental sagacity? Here, monks, through the elimination of the mental corruptions, a monk realised for himself, with direct knowledge, in this very life, the liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom that are free from mental corruptions and, having entered upon them, he dwells in them. This is called, monks, mental sagacity. These, monks, are the three kinds of sagacity."
A sage accomplished in sagacity, they call him one who has abandoned all." The tenth.
