The Discourse on the Corrupt Octad
787.
Some speak indeed with corrupted minds, and also some speak with truthful minds;
The sage does not approach the dispute that has arisen, therefore the sage has no barrenness anywhere.
788.
How could one go beyond one's own view, led by desire, established in personal preference;
Making complete things by oneself, as indeed one knows, so one would speak.
789.
Whoever, a creature, speaks of his own moral practices to others without being asked;
The skilful call that an ignoble quality, whoever praises himself by himself.
790.
And the peaceful monk, with a perfectly calmed self, not boasting thus about his morality;
The skilled call that the noble teaching, for whom there are no swellings anywhere in the world.
791.
For whom mental states are designed, conditioned, put in front, they are impure;
Whatever benefit he sees in himself, dependent on that, peace based on the unstable.
792.
For attachments to views are not easily overcome, having discriminated what is grasped among phenomena;
Therefore a man, in those attachments, rejects and takes up a teaching.
793.
For the wise one there is no designed view anywhere in the world, in this or that existence;
Having abandoned deceit and conceit, the wise one, by what would he go? He is unattracted.
794.
For one with involvement approaches dispute regarding phenomena, but by what and how would one speak of one without involvement;
For self and non-self do not exist for him, he has shaken off all views right here.
The Discourse on the Corrupt Octad is concluded as third.
