“Mendicants, someone with six qualities is unable to enter the sure path with regards to skillful qualities even when listening to the true teaching. “Chahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato suṇantopi saddhammaṁ abhabbo niyāmaṁ okkamituṁ kusalesu dhammesu sammattaṁ. What six? Katamehi chahi? When the teaching and practice proclaimed by the Realized One is being taught they don’t want to listen. They don’t actively listen or try to understand. They learn the incorrect meaning and neglect the correct meaning. They accept views that contradict the teaching. Tathāgatappavedite dhammavinaye desiyamāne na sussūsati, na sotaṁ odahati, na aññā cittaṁ upaṭṭhāpeti, anatthaṁ gaṇhāti, atthaṁ riñcati, ananulomikāya khantiyā samannāgato hoti. Someone with these six qualities is unable to enter the sure path with regards to skillful qualities, even when listening to the true teaching. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, chahi dhammehi samannāgato suṇantopi saddhammaṁ abhabbo niyāmaṁ okkamituṁ kusalesu dhammesu sammattaṁ.
