“Mendicants, without being keen and prudent a mendicant can’t achieve awakening, extinguishment, and the supreme sanctuary from the yoke. But if a mendicant is keen and prudent they can achieve awakening, extinguishment, and the supreme sanctuary from the yoke.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:

not·keen“Anātāpī not prudentanottāpī,

“Neither keen nor prudent, lazy, lacking energy, full of dullness and drowsiness, unconscientious, lacking regard for others, such a mendicant is incapable of experiencing the highest awakening.
