Needs acquiring knowledge.

Upaññāta (AN 2.5)

Bhikkhus, you should acquire knowledge in these two things. Such as dissatisfaction in meritorious thoughts and the non hindering exertion in meritorious thoughts. Bhikkhus, such was my exertion in meritorious thoughts. If it is so, may my skin, veins and bones remain. May the whole body dry up with flesh and blood. Without attaining what has to be attained with manly strength, effort and vigour I will not give up effort. Bhikkhus, then I quickly attained enlightenment and the end of unpleasantness.

Bhikkhus, you too should exert in meritorious thoughts. If it is so, may my skin, veins and bones remain. May the whole body dry up with flesh and blood. Without attaining what has to be attained with manly strength, effort and vigour I will not give up effort. Bhikkhus, if you do so, you too before long will attain the noble end of the holy life, for which sons of clansmen rightfully leave the household and become homeless. You will realize it here and now and abide in it.

Therefore bhikkhus, you should train. If it is so, may my skin, veins and bones remain. May the whole body dry up with flesh and blood. Without attaining what has to be attained with manly strength, effort and vigour I will not give up effort. This is the fifth.
