Furthermore, a noble disciple reflects, ‘Do I have the same nature as an individual accomplished in view?’ And what, mendicants, is the nature of an individual accomplished in view? This is the nature of an individual accomplished in view. Though they might manage a diverse spectrum of duties for their spiritual companions, they still feel a keen regard for the training in higher ethics, higher mind, and higher wisdom. Suppose there was a cow with a baby calf. She watches her calf devotedly as she grazes. In the same way, this is the nature of an individual accomplished in view. Though they might manage a diverse spectrum of duties for their spiritual companions, they still feel a keen regard for the training in higher ethics, higher mind, and higher wisdom. They understand, ‘I have the same nature as an individual accomplished in view.’ This is their fifth knowledge …

Furthermore, a noble disciple reflects, ‘Do I have the same strength as an individual accomplished in view?’ And what, mendicants, is the strength of an individual accomplished in view?

When a noble disciple has these seven factors, they have properly investigated their nature through the realization of the fruit of stream-entry. A noble disciple with these seven factors has the fruit of stream-entry.” That is what the Buddha said. Satisfied, the mendicants approved what the Buddha said.
