1 There are four themes, O bhikkhus, by means of which one seeking his own welfare should be vigilant in guarding the mind with mindfulness. What four?

2 “Let my mind not be tainted amidst things that taint.” One seeking his own welfare should be vigilant in guarding the mind with mindfulness.

3 “Let my mind not arouse hatred amidst things that provoke hate.” One seeking his own welfare should be vigilant in guarding the mind with mindfulness.

4 “Let my mind not be deluded amidst things that cause delusion.” One seeking his own welfare should be vigilant in guarding the mind with mindfulness.

5 “Let my mind not be intoxicated amidst things that cause intoxication.” One seeking his own welfare should be vigilant in guarding the mind with mindfulness.

6 “When, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu's mind does not become tainted amidst things that taint, [attained to] freedom from lust; his mind does not arouse hatred amidst things that provoke hate, [attained to] freedom from hatred; his mind does not become deluded amidst things that cause delusion, [attained to] freedom from delusion; his mind does not become intoxicated amidst things that cause intoxication, [attained to] freedom from intoxication; he is unruffled, unshaken, unperturbed, fearless, and does not act on account of a samana's bidding.”
