Emotional Barrenness
“पञ्चिमे, भिक्खवे, चेतोखिला। कतमे पञ्च? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सत्थरि कङ्खति विचिकिच्छति नाधिमुच्चति न सम्पसीदति। यो सो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सत्थरि कङ्खति विचिकिच्छति नाधिमुच्चति न सम्पसीदति, तस्स चित्तं न नमति आतप्पाय अनुयोगाय सातच्चाय पधानाय। यस्स चित्तं न नमति आतप्पाय अनुयोगाय सातच्चाय पधानाय, अयं पठमो चेतोखिलो।
“Pañcime, bhikkhave, cetokhilā. Katame pañca? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu satthari kaṅkhati vicikicchati nādhimuccati na sampasīdati. Yo so, bhikkhave, bhikkhu satthari kaṅkhati vicikicchati nādhimuccati na sampasīdati, tassa cittaṁ na namati ātappāya anuyogāya sātaccāya padhānāya. Yassa cittaṁ na namati ātappāya anuyogāya sātaccāya padhānāya, ayaṁ paṭhamo cetokhilo.
“Bhikkhus, there are these five kinds of emotional barrenness. What five? Firstly, a bhikkhu has doubts about the Teacher. They’re uncertain, undecided, and lacking confidence. This being so, their mind doesn’t incline toward keenness, commitment, persistence, and striving. This is the first kind of emotional barrenness.
पुन चपरं, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु धम्मे कङ्खति …पे… सङ्घे कङ्खति …पे… सिक्खाय कङ्खति …पे… सब्रह्मचारीसु कुपितो होति अनत्तमनो आहतचित्तो खिलजातो। यो सो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सब्रह्मचारीसु कुपितो होति अनत्तमनो आहतचित्तो खिलजातो, तस्स चित्तं न नमति आतप्पाय अनुयोगाय सातच्चाय पधानाय। यस्स चित्तं न नमति आतप्पाय अनुयोगाय सातच्चाय पधानाय, अयं पञ्चमो चेतोखिलो। इमे खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्च चेतोखिला”ति।
Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, bhikkhu dhamme kaṅkhati …pe… saṅghe kaṅkhati …pe… sikkhāya kaṅkhati …pe… sabrahmacārīsu kupito hoti anattamano āhatacitto khilajāto. Yo so, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sabrahmacārīsu kupito hoti anattamano āhatacitto khilajāto, tassa cittaṁ na namati ātappāya anuyogāya sātaccāya padhānāya. Yassa cittaṁ na namati ātappāya anuyogāya sātaccāya padhānāya, ayaṁ pañcamo cetokhilo. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca cetokhilā”ti.
Furthermore, a bhikkhu has doubts about the teaching … the Saṅgha … the training … A bhikkhu is angry and upset with their spiritual companions, resentful and closed off. This being so, their mind doesn’t incline toward keenness, commitment, persistence, and striving. This is the fifth kind of emotional barrenness. These are the five kinds of emotional barrenness.”
