那時，眾多
比丘午前時穿衣、拿起衣鉢後，
為了托鉢進入舍衛城。（同法門經[SN.46.52]）
「比丘們！這麼說的
其他外道遊行者們應該被這麼回答：『
道友們！凡在心是退縮的時，那時，哪些覺支的
修習是不適時的，哪些覺支的修習是適時的？道友們！又，凡在心是掉舉的時，那時，哪些覺支的修習是不適時的，哪些覺支的修習是適時的？』比丘們！被這麼問，其他外道遊行者們既將會不解答，且更會來到惱害，那是什麼原因？比丘們！那個正如
不在[感官的]境域中那樣。
比丘們！我不見那個：在包括天，在包括魔，在包括梵的世間；在包括沙門婆羅門，在包括天-人的
世代中，凡以這些問題的解答能使心滿意者，除了
如來或如來的弟子，又或從那裡聽聞後以外。
比丘們！凡在心是退縮的時，那時，
寧靜覺支的修習是不適時的；定覺支的修習是不適時的；
平靜覺支的修習是不適時的，那是什麼原因？比丘們！那顆退縮的心以這些法是難使奮起的。
比丘們！猶如男子想要使小火熾燃，在那裡他投入濕草，同時也投入濕牛糞，也投入濕木柴，也噴水(給與水風)，也以塵土撒佈，那位男子能夠使小火熾燃嗎？」「
大德！這確實不是。」
「同樣的，比丘們！凡在心是退縮的時，那時，
寧靜覺支的修習是不適時的；定覺支的修習是不適時的；
平靜覺支的修習是不適時的，那是什麼原因？比丘們！那顆退縮的心以這些法是難使奮起的。
比丘們！而凡在心是退縮的時，那時，
擇法覺支的修習是適時的；
活力覺支的修習是適時的；
喜覺支的修習是適時的，那是什麼原因？比丘們！那顆退縮的心以這些法是易使奮起的。
比丘們！猶如男子想要使小火熾燃，在那裡他投入乾草，同時也投入乾牛糞，也投入乾木柴，也吹風(給與口風)，且不以塵土撒佈，那位男子能夠使小火熾燃嗎？」「是的，大德！」
「同樣的，比丘們！凡在心是退縮的時，那時，擇法覺支的修習是適時的；活力覺支的修習是適時的；喜覺支的修習是適時的，那是什麼原因？比丘們！那顆退縮的心以這些法是易使奮起的。
比丘們！凡在心是掉舉的時，那時，擇法覺支的修習是不適時的；活力覺支的修習是不適時的；喜覺支的修習是不適時的，那是什麼原因？比丘們！那顆掉舉的心以這些法是難使平靜的。
比丘們！猶如男子想要使大火聚熄滅，在那裡他投入乾草，同時也投入乾牛糞，也投入乾木柴，也吹風，且不以塵土撒佈，那位男子能夠使大火聚熄滅嗎？」「大德！這確實不是。」
