18.19

"We disciples, from anādikāla until the present day, have nurtured our kleśas so that they grow daily deeper, daily thicker, daily more profuse, and daily more flourishing, veiling the eye of wisdom so that it sees nothing; we have severed the various goods so that they cannot continue, raising hindrances; the affliction-hindrance of being unable to see the Buddhas, unable to hear the true Dharma, and unable to meet the noble Saṅgha; the affliction-hindrance of failing to perceive wholesome and unwholesome karmic actions across all past and future worlds; the affliction-hindrance of receiving noble retributions among humans and devas; the affliction-hindrance of taking birth in the dhyāna bliss of the form and formless realms; the affliction-hindrance of failing to attain unimpeded supernormal powers to soar, vanish, appear, and travel everywhere to the pure lands of the Buddhas of the ten directions to hear the Dharma.
