[206] This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant — so I have heard:
"Bhikkhus, a bhikkhu possessed of two things dwells in suffering (dukkha) in this very life — with distress, with despair, with fever — and when the body breaks up, after death, a bad destination is to be expected. Of which two? Not guarding the doors of the sense faculties (indriyesu aguttadvāratā), and lack of moderation in eating (bhojane amattaññutā). Possessed of these two things, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells in suffering in this very life — with distress, with despair, with fever — and when the body breaks up, after death, a bad destination is to be expected."
The Blessed One spoke this meaning. With regard to that, this is said:
The eye, the ear, and the nose, the tongue, the body, and likewise the mind —
the bhikkhu for whom these doors are left unguarded,
knowing no moderation in eating, unrestrained in the sense faculties,
meets with suffering — suffering of body, suffering of mind;
with body burning, with mind burning,
whether by day or by night, such a one dwells in suffering.
This meaning too was spoken by the Blessed One — so I have heard.
