Auspicious

Then venerable Sāriputta addressed the bhikkhus:

Friends, bhikkhus, the bhikkhu arranges an abiding, in which abiding, his death and his spending the time would not be auspicious. Bhikkhus, what is that abiding, which would not be auspicious for the bhikkhus's death and abiding in time?

Here, bhikkhus, the bhikkhu delights in activity, delights in his sphere of activity. As a result he becomes fond of talking and attached to talk. As a result he becomes fond of sleep and attached to sleep. As a result he becomes fond of company and attached to company. As a result he becomes fond of association and attached to associations. As a result he becomes fond of worldliness and attached to worldliness. Thus, the bhikkhu abiding in this and other ways arranges his abiding, so that his death and abiding in time would not be auspicious. Friends, bhikkhus, to this is said the bhikkhu indulges in the self does not dispel it for the rightful destruction of unpleasalntness.

Friends, bhikkhus, to this is said the bhikkhu indulges in extinction dispels the self for rightful destruction of unpleasalntness.

The stupid one, attached to worldliness,
Has missed extinction, the noble end of the yoke,
He that is attached to non-worldliness,
Is convinced of extinction, the noble end of the yoke.
