You sravakas and pratyeka budhas need to study more in your quest of Supreme Bodhi: I have taught you the method of correct cultivation but you still do not know the subtle states of Mara which appear when you practice Shamatha Vipasyana. When they manifest, if you fail to distinguish these and if your minds are not in a right state, you will fall into the evils ways of either the demons, or your five aggregates, of the heavenly Maras, of ghosts and spirits or of mischievous sprites. If you are not clear of them, you will mistake thieves for your own sons. Furher, you may regard some little progress as complete achievement, like the untutored Bikshu who, when he reached the fourth dhyana heaven presumed that he had become a saint; after he had enjoyed his reward in heaven, all indications of his approaching fall appeared. As he vilified the arhats, he created the karma of future incarnation and then fell into the Avici hell. You should listen carefully to what I now tell you in detail. --Buddha [Thats right! I know how to drive this thing right into Hell. But I also know how to drive it out. It would be smart not to get off the bus in the lower levels of Hell, if you dont have an asbestos suit, and if you dont know how to get out of Hell, because we dont return very often and no one in Hell picks up hitchhikers... for good reason. We are working on a specific cancer here, and one should take note. ]
