1 “These four individuals, O bhikkhus, are to be found existing in the world. Which four? One who earns one's living by the fruits of one's efforts, not by the fruits of one's kamma; one who earns one's living by the fruits of one's kamma, not by the fruits of one's efforts; one who earns one's living by [both] the fruits of one's efforts and by the fruits of one's kamma; and also one who earns one's living neither by the fruits of one's efforts nor by the fruits of one's kamma. These, O bhikkhus, are the four individuals to be found existing in the world.”
