[1] THUS have I heard.

On a certain occasion the Exalted One was staying near Sāvatthī.

Then the Exalted One addressed the brethren, saying:

"Brethren."

"Yes, lord," replied those brethren to the Exalted One.

The Exalted One said:

"Through an element it is, brethren,
that beings flow together,
meet together.

The indiscreet flow together,
meet together the indiscreet,
the untaught with the untaught,
the unwise with the unwise.

The discreet flow together,
meet together with the discreet,
the educated with the educated,
the wise with the wise.

In the past, brethren,
through an element it was,
that beings flowed together,
met together.

The indiscreet flowed together,
met together the indiscreet,
the untaught with the untaught,
the unwise with the unwise.

The discreet flowed together,
met together with the discreet,
the educated with the educated,
the wise with the wise.

In the future, brethren,
through an element it will be,
that beings flow together,
meet together.

The indiscreet will flow together,
meet together the indiscreet,
the untaught with the untaught,
the unwise with the unwise.

The discreet will flow together,
meet together with the discreet,
the educated with the educated,
the wise with the wise.

In the present, brethren,
through an element it is,
that beings flow together,
meet together.

The indiscreet flow together,
meet together the indiscreet,
the untaught with the untaught,
the unwise with the unwise.

The discreet flow together,
meet together with the discreet,
the educated with the educated,
the wise with the wise.
