SN 46.24 Improper Attention – Ayonisomanasikārasutta

 

Bhikkhū, when you attend improperly, sensual desire,

“Ayoniso, bhikkhave, manasikaroto anuppanno ceva kāmacchando uppajjati, uppanno ca kāmacchando bhiyyobhāvāya vepullāya saṁvattati;

ill will,

anuppanno ceva byāpādo uppajjati, uppanno ca byāpādo bhiyyobhāvāya vepullāya saṁvattati;

dullness and drowsiness,

anuppannañceva thinamiddhaṁ uppajjati, uppannañca thinamiddhaṁ bhiyyobhāvāya vepullāya saṁvattati;

restlessness and remorse,

anuppannañceva uddhaccakukkuccaṁ uppajjati, uppannañca uddhaccakukkuccaṁ bhiyyobhāvāya vepullāya saṁvattati;

and doubt arise, and once arisen they increase and grow.

anuppannā ceva vicikicchā uppajjati, uppannā ca vicikicchā bhiyyobhāvāya vepullāya saṁvattati;

And the awakening factors of mindfulness, investigation of principles, energy, rapture, tranquility, samādhi, and equanimity don’t arise, or if they’ve already arisen, they cease.

anuppanno ceva satisambojjhaṅgo nuppajjati, uppanno ca satisambojjhaṅgo nirujjhati …pe… anuppanno ceva upekkhāsambojjhaṅgo nuppajjati, uppanno ca upekkhāsambojjhaṅgo nirujjhati.

When you attend properly, sensual desire,

Yoniso ca kho, bhikkhave, manasikaroto anuppanno ceva kāmacchando nuppajjati, uppanno ca kāmacchando pahīyati;

ill will,

anuppanno ceva byāpādo nuppajjati, uppanno ca byāpādo pahīyati;

dullness and drowsiness,

anuppannañceva thinamiddhaṁ nuppajjati, uppannañca thinamiddhaṁ pahīyati;

restlessness and remorse,

anuppannañceva uddhaccakukkuccaṁ nuppajjati, uppannañca uddhaccakukkuccaṁ pahīyati;

and doubt don’t arise, or if they’ve already arisen they’re given up.

anuppannā ceva vicikicchā nuppajjati, uppannā ca vicikicchā pahīyati.

And the awakening factors of mindfulness, investigation of principles, energy, rapture, tranquility, samādhi, and equanimity arise, and once they’ve arisen, they’re fully developed.”

Anuppanno ceva satisambojjhaṅgo uppajjati, uppanno ca satisambojjhaṅgo bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchati …pe… anuppanno ceva upekkhāsambojjhaṅgo uppajjati, uppanno ca upekkhāsambojjhaṅgo bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchatī”ti.
