“सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, यानि कानिचि जङ्गलानं पाणानं पदजातानि, सब्बानि तानि हत्थिपदे समोधानं गच्छन्ति; हत्थिपदं तेसं अग्गमक्खायति, यदिदं—महन्तत्तेन; एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे, ये केचि कुसला धम्मा, सब्बे ते अप्पमादमूलका अप्पमादसमोसरणा; अप्पमादो तेसं धम्मानं अग्गमक्खायति। अप्पमत्तस्सेतं, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुनो पाटिकङ्खं—अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं भावेस्सति अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं बहुलीकरिस्सति।
“Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, yāni kānici jaṅgalānaṁ pāṇānaṁ padajātāni, sabbāni tāni hatthipade samodhānaṁ gacchanti; hatthipadaṁ tesaṁ aggamakkhāyati, yadidaṁ—mahantattena; evameva kho, bhikkhave, ye keci kusalā dhammā, sabbe te appamādamūlakā appamādasamosaraṇā; appamādo tesaṁ dhammānaṁ aggamakkhāyati. Appamattassetaṁ, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno pāṭikaṅkhaṁ—ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bhāvessati ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bahulīkarissati.
“The footprints of all creatures that walk can fit inside an elephant’s footprint. So an elephant’s footprint is said to be the biggest of them all. In the same way, all skillful qualities are rooted in diligence and meet at diligence, and diligence is said to be the best of them. A bhikkhu who is diligent can expect to develop and cultivate the noble eightfold path.
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु अप्पमत्तो अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं भावेति अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं बहुलीकरोति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सम्मादिट्ठिं भावेति विवेकनिस्सितं विरागनिस्सितं निरोधनिस्सितं वोस्सग्गपरिणामिं …पे… सम्मासमाधिं भावेति विवेकनिस्सितं विरागनिस्सितं निरोधनिस्सितं वोस्सग्गपरिणामिं … एवं खो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु अप्पमत्तो अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं भावेति अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं बहुलीकरोती”ति।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu appamatto ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bhāveti ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bahulīkaroti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sammādiṭṭhiṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vossaggapariṇāmiṁ …pe… sammāsamādhiṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vossaggapariṇāmiṁ … evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu appamatto ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bhāveti ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bahulīkarotī”ti.
And how does a bhikkhu who is diligent develop and cultivate the noble eightfold path? It’s when a bhikkhu develops right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion, which rely on seclusion, fading away, and cessation, and ripen as letting go. … That’s how a bhikkhu who is diligent develops and cultivates the noble eightfold path.”
