Which two? A lack of guarding of the doors of the sense faculties, and knowing no moderation in food. Endowed with these two things, a monk lives in stress in the present life–troubled, distressed, & feverish–and at the break-up of the body, after death, a bad destination can be expected." Eye & ear & nose, tongue, body & mind: when a monk leaves these doors unguarded –knowing no moderation in food, not restraining his senses– he experiences stress: stress in body, stress in mind. Burning in body, burning in mind, whether by day or by night, one like this lives in suffering & stress. - --> - - - -
