The Discourse on Walking
110.
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Worthy One, thus have I heard:
"If, monks, for a monk who is walking, there arises a sensual thought or a thought of anger or a thought of violence. If, monks, that monk accepts it, does not abandon it, does not dispel it, does not put an end to it, does not bring it to obliteration. Even while walking, monks, a monk being thus is called 'not ardent, having no moral fear, constantly and continuously lazy, lacking in energy'.
"If, monks, for a monk who is standing, there arises a sensual thought or a thought of anger or a thought of violence. If, monks, that monk accepts it, does not abandon it, does not dispel it, does not put an end to it, does not bring it to obliteration. Even while standing, monks, a monk being thus is called 'not ardent, having no moral fear, constantly and continuously lazy, lacking in energy'.
"If, monks, for a monk who is sitting, there arises a sensual thought or a thought of anger or a thought of violence. If, monks, that monk accepts it, does not abandon it, does not dispel it, does not put an end to it, does not bring it to obliteration. Even while sitting, monks, a monk being thus is called 'not ardent, having no moral fear, constantly and continuously lazy, lacking in energy'.
"If, monks, for a monk who is lying down and awake, there arises a sensual thought or a thought of anger or a thought of violence. If, monks, that monk accepts it, does not abandon it, does not dispel it, does not put an end to it, does not bring it to obliteration. Even while lying down and awake, monks, a monk being thus is called 'not ardent, having no moral fear, constantly and continuously lazy, lacking in energy'.
"If, monks, for a monk who is walking, there arises a sensual thought or a thought of anger or a thought of violence. If, monks, that monk does not accept it, abandons it, dispels it, puts an end to it, brings it to obliteration. Even while walking, monks, a monk being thus is called 'ardent, having moral fear, constantly and continuously putting forth strenuous energy, resolute'.
"If, monks, for a monk who is standing, there arises a sensual thought or a thought of anger or a thought of violence. If, monks, that monk does not accept it, abandons it, dispels it, puts an end to it, brings it to obliteration. Even while standing, monks, a monk being thus is called 'ardent, having moral fear, constantly and continuously putting forth strenuous energy, resolute'.

Even while lying down and awake, monks, a monk being thus is called 'ardent, having moral fear, constantly and continuously putting forth strenuous energy, resolute'." The Blessed One said this meaning. Therein this is said:
Whoever thinks an evil thought connected with the household life.
Such a monk is incapable of touching the highest enlightenment.
Having calmed applied thought, delights in the peace of applied thought;
Such a monk is capable of touching the highest enlightenment."
This meaning too was spoken by the Blessed One, thus have I heard. The eleventh.
