[920] Bhikkhus, whatever ascetics or brahmins do not understand as it really is (yathābhūta) the origin, the passing away, the gratification, the danger, and the escape in regard to these five faculties (indriya) — those ascetics or brahmins, bhikkhus, are not considered by me as ascetics among ascetics or as brahmins among brahmins; nor do those venerable ones, having realized it for themselves with direct knowledge (abhiññā), in this very life enter upon and dwell in the goal of the ascetic life or the goal of the brahmin life.
