( 113 ) twelvth defect is lust. He who is lustful and indulges in the sexual pleasures of women can never be called God by any sensible man. The thirteenth defect is falsehool which leads to darkness and this cannot be attributed to God. The fourteenth defect is ignorance. He who is full of ignorance can never be all-knowing God. The fifteenth defect is sleep. He who sleepis has a gap in knowledge. The blessed Arhat is all-knowing, so He is beyond sleep. The sixteenth defect is desire. He who is full of desire cannot be Arhat. The seventeenth and eighteenth defects are passion and anger. He who has passion and anger cannot be mediator. Such a man suffers from anger, pride, illusion and delusion. On the other hand the Lord is passionless, equally disposed towards friends and foe, having an equal measure of consideration for all beings. He makes none either happy or miserable. If He makes other happy or miserable, He cannot be passionless and full of com. passion. For these reasons the blessed Arhat cannot have passion and hatred.
