NAMO BUDDHAYA !
Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato Samma Sambuddhassa !
Homage to the Blessed One, the Worthy One, the Supremely Enlightened One !
THE NUMARICAL DISCOURSES OF THE BUDDHA.
​

Sussuusathi Sutta - One Wishes to Listen (AN6-88)
 
"Bhikkhus (Monks), possessing six qualities, even while listening to the good Dhamma one is incapable of entering upon the fixed course (consisting) in rightness in wholesome qualities. What six? When the Dhamma and discipline proclaimed by the Tathāgata(the Buddha) is being taught,
(1) one does not wish to listen;- (na sussūsati)
(2) one does not lend an ear;-  (na sotaṁ odahati)
(3) one does not set one's mind on understanding; -  ( na aññā cittaṁupaṭṭhāpeti )
(4) one grasps the meaning wrongly; -  (anatthaṁ gaṇhāti)
(5) one discards the meaning; and - (atthaṁ riñcati)
(6) one has adopted a conviction that is not in conformity (with the teaching.) . ( ananulomikāyakhantiyā samannāgato)

 Possessing these six qualities, even while listening to the good Dhamma one is incapable of entering upon the fixed course( consisting) in rightness in wholesome qualities.
