Okay, all right. Or, or, or—
English
Or somebody was on it.
English
Somebody was on it. Apple also on it.
English
Yeah.
English
Fake also on it.
English
Wait a minute.
English
Which time also?
English
Yeah.
English
All together. Wait. Together. Balance. Then understand where it comes.
English

English
Yeah. Samādhi also necessary. Wisdom also necessary.

English
Effect.

Yeah.
English
But this is a
English

English
So I'm more— I like more emphasize about the five indriyas must be balanced.
English
Yes.
English
Sayadaw, the five indriyas, in Samādha also there is five indriyas.
English
Yes.
English
But no cannot arise wisdom because of no right view.
