Do you wish to liberate? I mean true liberation? No
matter how hard we try to liberate if we don’t have these qualities with us.
So, let’s take a look at the six qualities which are the blessed one mentioned
for greatest Arhanthship.
Once the greatest Samma Sambuddha said; if one has these 6
qualities, he or she cannot attain the final fruit of nibbana the greatest
Arhanthship.
This is in the Pali canon –Numbered
Discourses 6 (Anguththara Nikaya) - 8. Perfection Category (Arhaththa Wagga) -
83. The Best Thing ( Aggadhamma Sutta)
“Mendicants, a mendicant with six qualities can’t
realize the best thing, perfection. What six? It’s when a mendicant
is;
1.
Faithless
2.
Shameless
3.
Imprudent
4.
Lazy
5.
Witless
6.
And they’re concerned with their body and their
life.
A mendicant with these six qualities can’t realize the
best thing, perfection.
So, as always you can see the “Faith” is the seed and
it is the top necessary for your liberation. And then one has to identify
the shamelessness & imprudent for sins & wrongfulness. If one
doesn’t Conscientious & prudent for the sins and wrongfulness one fails to
correct them and liberate from them.
And being lazy doesn’t means the laziness for general
activities. One that so energetic to the day-to-day activities can be
lazy to listen to dhamma, practice dhamma and do the things needful for
liberation. So, in here laziness means being lazy to liberate.
And of course, all these cause because of the lack of
wisdom. Being witless, ignorant is a cause of not having
liberation.
And one does care about life & body too much also
far way from liberation. If you think about food and healthier life all
the time you are losing your focus on the liberation, or finding the
truth.
So, too much of concern over life & body is a
quality which can not bring you liberation.
So, my dear dhamma friends, check these with
yourself. If you feel like you have these work on them and get rid of
them.
“A mendicant with six qualities can realize the best
thing, perfection. What six? It’s when a mendicant is;
1.
Faithful
2.
Conscientious
3.
Prudent
4.
Energetic
5.
Wise
6.
And they have no concern for their body and their
life.
A mendicant with these six qualities can realize the
best thing, perfection.
May triple gem bless you for the best my dear dhamma
friends!
