[359] Bhikkhus, one possessed of six qualities, even while listening to the true Dhamma (saddhamma), is incapable of entering the fixed course (niyāma) of rightness (sammatta) in wholesome dhammas. What six? When the Dhamma and Discipline (dhammavinaya) proclaimed by the Tathāgata is being taught, he does not wish to listen; he does not lend an ear; he does not set up a mind (citta) intent on final knowledge (aññā); he grasps what is unbeneficial; he rejects what is beneficial; and he is possessed of an acceptance (khanti) that is not in conformity. Bhikkhus, one possessed of these six qualities, even while listening to the true Dhamma, is incapable of entering the fixed course of rightness in wholesome dhammas.
