“मा, भिक्खवे, पापके अकुसले वितक्के वितक्केय्याथ, सेय्यथिदं—कामवितक्कं, ब्यापादवितक्कं, विहिंसावितक्कं। तं किस्स हेतु? नेते, भिक्खवे, वितक्का अत्थसंहिता नादिब्रह्मचरियका न निब्बिदाय न विरागाय न निरोधाय न उपसमाय न अभिञ्ञाय न सम्बोधाय न निब्बानाय संवत्तन्ति।
“Mā, bhikkhave, pāpake akusale vitakke vitakkeyyātha, seyyathidaṁ—kāmavitakkaṁ, byāpādavitakkaṁ, vihiṁsāvitakkaṁ. Taṁ kissa hetu? Nete, bhikkhave, vitakkā atthasaṁhitā nādibrahmacariyakā na nibbidāya na virāgāya na nirodhāya na upasamāya na abhiññāya na sambodhāya na nibbānāya saṁvattanti.
“Bhikkhus, don’t think bad, unskillful thoughts, such as sensual, malicious, and cruel thoughts. Why is that? Because those thoughts aren’t beneficial or relevant to the fundamentals of the spiritual life. They don’t lead to disillusionment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and Nibbana.
वितक्केन्ता च खो तुम्हे, भिक्खवे, ‘इदं दुक्खन्ऽति वितक्केय्याथ, ‘अयं दुक्खसमुदयोऽति वितक्केय्याथ, ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधोऽति वितक्केय्याथ, ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधगामिनी पटिपदाऽति वितक्केय्याथ। तं किस्स हेतु? एते, भिक्खवे, वितक्का अत्थसंहिता एते आदिब्रह्मचरियका एते निब्बिदाय विरागाय निरोधाय उपसमाय अभिञ्ञाय सम्बोधाय निब्बानाय संवत्तन्ति।
Vitakkentā ca kho tumhe, bhikkhave, ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti vitakkeyyātha, ‘ayaṁ dukkhasamudayo’ti vitakkeyyātha, ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodho’ti vitakkeyyātha, ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti vitakkeyyātha. Taṁ kissa hetu? Ete, bhikkhave, vitakkā atthasaṁhitā ete ādibrahmacariyakā ete nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya upasamāya abhiññāya sambodhāya nibbānāya saṁvattanti.
When you think, you should think: ‘This is suffering’ … ‘This is the origin of suffering’ … ‘This is the cessation of suffering’ … ‘This is the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering’. Why is that? Because those thoughts are beneficial and relevant to the fundamentals of the spiritual life. They lead to disillusionment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and Nibbana.
तस्मातिह, भिक्खवे, ‘इदं दुक्खन्ऽति योगो करणीयो …पे… ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधगामिनी पटिपदाऽति योगो करणीयो”ति।
Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yogo karaṇīyo …pe… ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yogo karaṇīyo”ti.
That’s why you should practice meditation …”
