[236] Here again, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells in dependence on a certain jungle thicket. While he dwells in dependence on that jungle thicket, unestablished mindfulness does not become established, the unconcentrated mind (citta) does not become concentrated, unexhausted taints (āsava) do not come to exhaustion, and he does not attain the unattained supreme security from bondage (yogakkhema); yet those requisites of life that should be procured by one gone forth — robes, almsfood, lodgings, and medicinal requisites for the sick — come to him without difficulty. Bhikkhus, that bhikkhu should reflect thus: "I am dwelling in dependence on this jungle thicket. While I dwell in dependence on this jungle thicket, unestablished mindfulness does not become established, the unconcentrated mind does not become concentrated, unexhausted taints do not come to exhaustion, and I do not attain the unattained supreme security from bondage; yet those requisites of life that should be procured by one gone forth — robes, almsfood, lodgings, and medicinal requisites for the sick — come to me without difficulty. But I did not go forth from the home life into homelessness for the sake of robes, nor for the sake of almsfood, nor for the sake of lodgings, nor did I go forth from the home life into homelessness for the sake of medicinal requisites for the sick. And moreover, while I dwell in dependence on this jungle thicket, unestablished mindfulness does not become established, the unconcentrated mind does not become concentrated, unexhausted taints do not come to exhaustion, and I do not attain the unattained supreme security from bondage." Bhikkhus, that bhikkhu, even after due appraisal, should depart from that jungle thicket; he should not remain.
