One thing leads to gain and another to nibbana. Having understood this clearly, the monk disciple of the Buddha does not delight in veneration and cultivates solitude.

Aññā hi lābhūpanisā, aññā nibbānagāminī — one thing leads to gain and another to nibbana: fundamental distinction. The paths that lead to worldly success and liberation are different. Confusing them is one of the most costly errors on the spiritual path.

Abhiññāya — having understood clearly: it is not enough to know intellectually. One must have understood in a way that orients action, that genuinely changes priorities.

Sakkāraṃ nābhinandeyya — does not delight in veneration: the sign of having understood the distinction is this: veneration does not produce compulsive delight but can be received with equanimity, as any other phenomenon.

Vivekamanubrūhaye — cultivate solitude: viveka is both the practice of physical solitude and inner discernment. Cultivating viveka is distinguishing the essential from the accidental. It closes the fool chapter with its perfect antithesis: not veneration, but discernment.
