2. This Teaching is for one satisfied, not for one dissatisfied.

3. This Teaching is for the secluded, not for one attached to company.

4. This Teaching is for one with aroused effort, not for the lazy.

5. This Teaching is for one with established mindfulness, not for one without mindfulness

6. This Teaching is for the concentrated, not for the distracted.

7. This Teaching is for the wise, not for those lacking in wisdom.
