[181] Furthermore, bhikkhus, an untrue person is well-known and famous. He reflects thus: 'I am well-known and famous; but these other bhikkhus are obscure and of little consequence.' Because of that renown he extols himself and disparages others. This too, bhikkhus, is a quality of an untrue person (asappurisadhamma).
But a true person, bhikkhus, reflects thus: 'It is not because of renown that states of greed (lobha) come to extinction, or that states of hatred (dosa) come to extinction, or that states of delusion (moha) come to extinction. Even if one is not well-known and famous, yet if one is practicing in accordance with the Dhamma, practicing rightly, conducting oneself in conformity with the Dhamma, one is worthy of honor therein, worthy of praise therein.' Because of that renown he neither extols himself nor disparages others. This too, bhikkhus, is a quality of a true person (sappurisadhamma).
