“Pañcime, bhikkhave, cetokhilā. Katame pañca?
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu satthari kaṅkhati vicikicchati nādhimuccati na sampasīdati. Yo so, bhikkhave, bhikkhu satthari kaṅkhati vicikicchati nādhimuccati na sampasīdati, tassa cittaṁ na namati ātappāya anuyogāya sātaccāya padhānāya. Yassa cittaṁ na namati ātappāya anuyogāya sātaccāya padhānāya, ayaṁ paṭhamo cetokhilo.
Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, bhikkhu dhamme kaṅkhati … saṅghe kaṅkhati … sikkhāya kaṅkhati …
Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sabrahmacārīsu kupito hoti anattamano āhatacitto khilajāto. Yo so, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sabrahmacārīsu kupito hoti anattamano āhatacitto khilajāto, tassa cittaṁ na namati ātappāya anuyogāya sātaccāya padhānāya. Yassa cittaṁ na namati ātappāya anuyogāya sātaccāya padhānāya, ayaṁ pañcamo cetokhilo. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca cetokhilā”ti.
“Bhikkhus, there are these five kinds of emotional barrenness. What five?
Firstly, a bhikkhu has doubts about the Teacher. They’re uncertain, undecided, and lacking confidence. This being so, their mind doesn’t incline towards ardor, commitment, persistence, and striving. This is the first kind of emotional barrenness.
Furthermore, a bhikkhu has doubts about the Dhamma … the Saṅgha … the training …
Furthermore, a bhikkhu is angry and upset with their spiritual companions, resentful and closed off. This being so, their mind doesn’t incline toward keenness, commitment, persistence, and striving. This is the fifth kind of emotional barrenness. These are the five kinds of emotional barrenness.”
