146. A god said to the Lord: “These six things do not cause one to decline. What six? Reverence for the Teacher, the Dhamma, and the Sangha, for the training, for earnestness and for love.” Later, the Lord repeated to the monks what the god had said, and then added:
“Deep reverence for the Teacher,
The Dhamma and the Sangha.
With earnestness and love,
Those like this will not fail;
For they are near Nirvana.”
A.III,330 (AN 6.32)
