[186] Furthermore, bhikkhus, an untrue person (asappurisa) is a forest dweller (āraññaka). He reflects thus: "I am a forest dweller, but these other bhikkhus are not forest dwellers." On account of that forest-dwelling he exalts himself and disparages others. This too, bhikkhus, is a quality of an untrue person (asappurisadhamma).
But a true person (sappurisa), bhikkhus, reflects thus: "It is not on account of forest-dwelling that states of greed (lobha) come to destruction, or that states of hatred (dosa) come to destruction, or that states of delusion (moha) come to destruction. Even if one is not a forest dweller, yet if he is one who practices in accordance with the Dhamma, practices rightly, and conducts himself in conformity with the Dhamma, he is worthy of honor therein, he is worthy of praise therein." So, making the practice itself the essential thing within, on account of that forest-dwelling he neither exalts himself nor disparages others. This too, bhikkhus, is a quality of a true person (sappurisadhamma).
