AN4.77

'These four, almsman, are not what would be considered; they not should be considered. Who is a considerator of this is a partaker of madness, of vexation.

Which four?

For the ones awakened, almsmen, the realm of awakening is not what would be considered; it not should be considered. Who is a considerator of this is a partaker of madness of vexation.

For the ones radiating, almsmen, the realm of radiance is not what would be considered; it not should be considered. Who is a considerator of this is a partaker of madness of vexation.

The ripening the action has, almsman, is not what would be considered; it not should be considered. Who is a considerator of this is a partaker of madness, of vexation.

Considerations about the world, almsmen, are not what would be considered; it not should be considered. Who is a considerator of this, is a partaker of madness, of vexation.

OK these, almsmen, four are not what would be considered; they not should be considered. Who is a considerator of this, is a partaker of madness, of vexation.'
