dn25:11.1 Furthermore, a mortifier rebukes a certain ascetic or brahmin,
BAGIAN 11
dn25:11.2 ‘What is it with this one living in abundance, devouring everything—
dn25:11.3 plants propagated from roots, trunks, cuttings, or joints; and those from regular seeds as the fifth. According to this ascetic’s doctrine, the crown of the tooth is forked lightning!’
dn25:11.4 This too is a defect in that mortifier.
dn25:11.5 Furthermore, a mortifier sees a certain ascetic or brahmin being honored, respected, esteemed, and venerated among good families.
dn25:11.6 They think,
dn25:11.7 ‘This one, who lives in abundance, is honored, respected, esteemed, and venerated among good families.
dn25:11.8 But I, a fervent mortifier who lives rough, am not honored, respected, esteemed, and venerated among good families.’ Thus they give rise to jealousy and stinginess regarding families.
dn25:11.9 This too is a defect in that mortifier.
dn25:11.10 Furthermore, a mortifier sits meditation only when people can see them.
dn25:11.11 This too is a defect in that mortifier.
dn25:11.12 Furthermore, a mortifier sneaks about among families, thinking,
dn25:11.13 ‘This is part of my mortification; this is part of my mortification.’
dn25:11.14 This too is a defect in that mortifier.
dn25:11.15 Furthermore, a mortifier sometimes behaves in an underhand manner.
dn25:11.16 When asked whether something is acceptable to them, they say it is, even though it isn’t.
dn25:11.17 Or they say it isn’t, even though it is.
dn25:11.18 Thus they tell a deliberate lie.
dn25:11.19 This too is a defect in that mortifier.
