Causes remorse

Then venerable Sāriputta addressed the bhikkhus:

Friends, bhikkhus, the bhikkhu arranges an abiding, so that his death and abiding in time would be remorseful. Bhikkhus, what is that abiding, which causes remorse to the bhikkhus's death and his 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 be a cause for remorse. Friends, bhikkhus, to this is said the bhikkhu indulges in the self does not dispel it, for the rightful destruction of unpleasalntness.

Friends, bhikkhus, the bhikkhu arranges an abiding, in which abiding, his death and abiding in time would cause no remorse. Bhikkhus, what is that abiding, abiding in which the bhikkhus's death and abiding in time would cause no remorse?

Here, bhikkhus, the bhikkhu does not delight in activity, does not delight in his sphere of activity. As a result he does not become fond of talking and is not attached to talk. As a result he does not become fond of sleep and is not attached to sleep. As a result he does not become fond of company and is not attached to company. As a result he does not become fond of association and is not attached to associations. As a result he does not become fond of worldliness and is not attached to worldliness. Thus, the bhikkhu abiding in this and other ways arranges his abiding, so that his death and abiding in time would be not remorseful. 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.
