1 Endowed with five dhammas, O bhikkhus, one is incapable of entering upon the fixed course of rightness in wholesome dhammas even while listening to the true dhamma. Which five?

One is ill-disposed towards the dhamma or the speaker, discontented. One is unwise and unintelligent, stupid. One presumes to understand what one has not understood.
