- Hey Brahmin, there are four categories of people in the world are present. Which four? Here, the Brahmin, with his suffering people self-propelled, self-propelled concentrate their suffering. Here, the Brahmin, with people who act hard, specializing in mental suffering people. Here, the Brahmin, with his suffering people has self-propelled, self-propelled concentrate its size, medium size onion people, specialized mental suffering people. Here, the Brahmin, who had not self-propelled with his suffering, not self-propelled dedicated his suffering, has not taken suffering people, suffering people not dedicated operator. He did not assault his suffering, not self-propelled concentrate their suffering, not behaving suffering people, suffering people not dedicated practice, even in the current non-craving, the first President, feels cool, sense pleasures, self Stay on discounts could fall. This Brahmin, four classes of people, who are interested Rating He liked the most?
