7.7.361

“Venerable Sir! When a restrained homeless ascetic walks mindfully, stands mindfully, sits mindfully, lies down mindfully, takes or puts down robe, bowl, blanket, and broom mindfully, Venerable Sir, does he incur movement-related activity or worldly-bondage activity?”
“Gautama! For a restrained homeless ascetic who walks mindfully, and so on, movement-related activity is incurred, not worldly-bondage activity.”
“For what reason, Venerable Sir, is it said: ‘For a restrained homeless ascetic who walks mindfully, and so on, not worldly-bondage activity is incurred’?”
“Gautama! He whose anger, pride, deceit, and greed are severed incurs movement-related activity; he whose anger, pride, deceit, and greed are not severed incurs worldly-bondage activity. For one who acts in accordance with the scripture, movement-related activity is incurred; for one who acts contrary to the scripture, worldly-bondage activity is incurred. And he indeed acts in accordance with the scripture. For that reason, Gautama, it is said: ‘For a restrained homeless ascetic who walks mindfully, and so on, movement-related activity is incurred, not worldly-bondage activity.’”
