[231] "In which bhikkhu, then, have the five kinds of mental barrenness (cetokhīla) been abandoned? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu does not doubt the Teacher, is not perplexed about him, is decided and has confidence in him. Bhikkhus, when a bhikkhu does not doubt the Teacher, is not perplexed about him, is decided and has confidence in him, his mind (citta) inclines to ardor (ātappa), to application, to perseverance, to striving. In one whose mind inclines to ardor, to application, to perseverance, to striving — thus this first mental barrenness has been abandoned by him.
"Again, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu does not doubt the Dhamma, is not perplexed about it, is decided and has confidence in it … He does not doubt the Saṅgha, is not perplexed about it, is decided and has confidence in it … He does not doubt the training, is not perplexed about it, is decided and has confidence in it. Bhikkhus, when a bhikkhu does not doubt the training, is not perplexed about it, is decided and has confidence in it, his mind inclines … thus this fourth mental barrenness has been abandoned by him.
"Again, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu is not angry with his companions in the holy life, is not displeased with them, is not stricken in mind toward them, has not become barren toward them. Bhikkhus, when a bhikkhu is not angry with his companions in the holy life, is not displeased with them, is not stricken in mind toward them, has not become barren toward them, his mind inclines to ardor, to application, to perseverance, to striving. In one whose mind inclines to ardor, to application, to perseverance, to striving — thus this fifth mental barrenness has been abandoned by him. In this bhikkhu the five kinds of mental barrenness have been abandoned."
