sn.1.8 Saṁyutta Nikāya (Linked Discourses)

Very Confused

At Sāvatthī.
Standing to one side, that deity recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
“Those who are very confused about the teachings,
who may be led astray by the doctrines of others;
asleep, they have not woken up:
it is time for them to wake!”
“Those who are unconfused about the teachings,
who won’t be led astray by the doctrines of others;
they’ve woken up, they rightly know,
they live smoothly in the rough.”
