This is how I hear.

At the time of the Blessed One in Savatthi, in Jetavana, the garden of Anathapindika (Anathapindika).Here, Venerable Sariputta (Sariputta) called bhikkhus. "Hsien Bhikkhu". "Sage," the monks obeyed Sariputta. The author of Sariputta says:

- Hey, there are four classes in life. how is four? Chu Hien, here, is classified as defiled person, but not as true knowledge tri: "In my body is defiled." Again Hien, here, there are people who are defiled, and as intellectual tri: "Internal self is defiled." Again, Hien here, there are people who have no defecation, but not as true knowledge tri: "In my body is not defiled." Again, Hien, here, there are people who have no defilement and as intellectual tri: "I have no defilements."

Chu Hien, here, class people have defiled but not as true knowledge tri: "Internal self is defiled." In two categories of people are classified, this class of people is so called low class people. Chu Hien, here, the class is defiled and as true knowledge tri: "Internal self is defiled." In two categories, the person is classified as the winner.

Chu Hien, here, there are people who are not defiled but not as true knowledge tri: "Internal self is not defiled." In two categories, the person is not classified, so this person is called the lower class. Chu Hien, here, the class of people is not defiled and as the intellectual tri: "I have no defilements." In two categories, the person is not classified, so this person is called the winner.

To say so, Mahamoggallana said to Venerable Sariputta:

- Sariputta, due to what, by what conditions, in two classes of people have this defilement, a class of people called paralysis, a class of people called victory? Sariputta, by virtue of what, by what conditions in two classes of people without defecation, a class of people is called paralysis, a class of people called victory?

- Here, Sage, the class is defiled but not as true knowledge tri: "We have defiled ourselves." With this person, one can expect the following: "This person will not arise desire, will not try, will not be diligent to eradicate this defect. This person will die, while there is greed, also there is a yard, there is si, while defilement, while the mind is polluted. The sage, like a bowl of bronze, brought from the market or brought back from the blacksmith, covered with dust, and the owner of that bowl is not used, do not clean and toss the bowl into place. dust. Sister, so that bowl, after a time more and more pollution, more dusty.

Here, this sage, the class is not defiled but not as true knowledge tri: "Internal self is not defiled." With this person, one can expect the following: "This person will meditate on the principle of mindfulness, which will pollute the mind of this person, who will die, while there is greed. There are still si, while defiled, while the mind is polluted. " Sage, like a bowl of bronze, brought from the market or brought from the blacksmith home, pure and clean. And the owner of that bowl did not use it, did not clean it and tossed the bowl into the dusty place. Sick, so that bowl, after a while, the more pollution, the more dust.
