[546] Bhikkhus, furthermore, a noble disciple reflects thus: 'With whatever nature (dhammatā) an individual accomplished in view is endowed, I too am endowed with such a nature.' And with what kind of nature, bhikkhus, is an individual accomplished in view endowed? This, bhikkhus, is the nature of an individual accomplished in view: although he may fall into an offense (āpatti) of such a kind that emergence from that offense is made known, still he quickly discloses, reveals, and makes it plain in the presence of the Teacher or of wise companions in the holy life; and having disclosed, revealed, and made it plain, he undertakes restraint for the future. Just as, bhikkhus, a young, tender infant lying on its back, having pressed upon a burning coal with hand or foot, draws back quickly indeed; even so, bhikkhus, this is the nature of an individual accomplished in view: although he may fall into an offense of such a kind that emergence from that offense is made known, still he quickly discloses, reveals, and makes it plain in the presence of the Teacher or of wise companions in the holy life; and having disclosed, revealed, and made it plain, he undertakes restraint for the future. He understands thus: 'With whatever nature an individual accomplished in view is endowed, I too am endowed with such a nature.' This is the fourth knowledge (ñāṇa) attained by him — noble, supramundane, not shared with worldlings.
