Dhammapada Verses 19 and 20
Dvesahayakabhikkhu Vatthu
Bahumpi ce samhita bhasamano
na takkaro hoti naro pamatto
gopova gavo ganayam paresam
na bhagava samannassa hoti.
Appampi ce samhita bhasamano
dhammassa hoti anudhammacari
raganca dosanca pahaya moham
sammappajano suvimuttacitto1
anupadiyano idha va haram va
sa bhagava samannassa hoti.2
Verse 19: Though he recites much the Sacred Texts (Tipitaka), but is negligent and does not practise according to the Dhamma, like a cowherd who counts the cattle of others, he has no share in the benefits of the life of a bhikkhu (i.e., Magga-phala).
Verse 20: Though he recites only a little of the Sacred Texts (Tipitaka), but practises according to the Dhamma, eradicating passion, ill will and ignorance, clearly comprehending the Dhamma, with his mind freed from moral defilements and no longer clinging to this world or to the next, he shares the benefits of the life of a bhikkhu (i.e., Magga-phala).
