1 “There are, O bhikkhus, these six grounds of incapability. What six?

2 An individual excelling in view is incapable of relying on [the view:] pleasure and pain are made by one's self. An individual excelling in view is incapable of relying on [the view:] pleasure and pain are made by another. An individual excelling in view is incapable of relying on [the view:] pleasure and pain are made by both one's self and another. An individual excelling in view is incapable of relying on [the view:] pleasure and pain are not made by one's self but arisen by chance. An individual excelling in view is incapable of relying on [the view:] pleasure and pain are not made by another but arisen by chance. An individual excelling in view is incapable of relying on [the view:] pleasure and pain are neither made by one's self nor by another but arisen by chance.

3 What is the reason for that? Because, O bhikkhus, the individual accomplished in view has clearly seen cause and causally arisen dhammas. These, O bhikkhus, are the six grounds of incapability.”
