One does not attain what has not yet been attained; one falls away from what has been attained; one is not self-assured in regard to some portion of what has been attained; one contracts a severe, grievous illness; and one is without friends. These indeed, bhikkhus, are the five dangers for one who dwells engaged in lengthy wandering, in unsettled wandering. Bhikkhus, there are these five benefits (ānisaṃsa) in balanced wandering. What five? One attains what has not yet been attained; one does not fall away from what has been attained; one is self-assured in regard to some portion of what has been attained; one does not contract a severe, grievous illness; and one has friends.
