Beginning With Imprudence
At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, sentient beings join together and converge because of an element: the imprudent with the imprudent … unlearned … witless. The prudent with the prudent … learned … wise.
… the imprudent with the imprudent … lazy … witless. The prudent with the prudent … energetic … wise.
… the imprudent with the imprudent … unmindful … witless. The prudent with the prudent … mindful … wise.”
