sn.48.17 Saṁyutta Nikāya (Linked Discourses)
In Detail (3rd)
“Mendicants, there are these five faculties.What five?
The faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom.
These are the five faculties.
Someone who has completed and fulfilled these five faculties is a perfected one. If they are weaker than that, they’re one who is extinguished between one life and the next … one who is extinguished upon landing … one who is extinguished without extra effort … one who is extinguished with extra effort … one who heads upstream, going to the Akaniṭṭha realm … a once-returner … a stream-enterer … a follower of the teachings … a follower by faith.
So, mendicants, if you practice fully you succeed fully. If you practice partially you succeed partially.
These five faculties are not a waste, I say.”
