Aṅguttara Nikāya — Discursos Numerados — 4.65 — Appearance

1“Mendicants, these four individuals are found in the world. What four? There are those whose estimation of and confidence in others is based on their appearance, on their voice, on their mortification, and on principle.

2These are the four individuals found in the world.

3Those who judge on appearance,
and those swayed by a voice,
are full of desire and greed;
those people just don’t understand.

4Not knowing what’s inside,
nor seeing what’s outside,
the fool shut in on every side,
gets carried away by a voice.

5Not knowing what’s inside,
but discerning what’s outside,
seeing the fruit outside,
they’re also carried away by a voice.

6Understanding what’s inside,
and discerning what’s outside,
seeing without hindrances,
they don’t get carried away by a voice.”
