The Second Discourse on Ascetics and Brahmins
477.
"Whatever ascetics or brahmins, monks, who do not understand the faith faculty, do not understand the origin of the faith faculty, do not understand the cessation of the faith faculty, do not understand the practice leading to the cessation of the faith faculty;
do not understand the energy faculty, etc.
do not understand the mindfulness faculty, etc.
do not understand the concentration faculty, etc.
do not understand the wisdom faculty, do not understand the origin of the wisdom faculty, do not understand the cessation of the wisdom faculty, do not understand the practice leading to the cessation of the wisdom faculty, they are not for me, monks, ascetics or brahmins who are considered ascetics among ascetics or considered brahmins among brahmins; and those venerable ones do not dwell having attained the goal of asceticism or the goal of the holy life in this very life, having realised by direct knowledge themselves.
