Belong to the four directions

Cātuddisa (AN 5.109)

Bhikkhus, the bhikkhu endowed with five things belong to the four directions. What five?

Here, bhikkhus, the bhikkhu is virtuous restrained in the higher code of rules, is endowed with the right conduct, seeing fear in the slightest fault. He is learned, treasures what he has learned of the Teaching that is good at the beginning, middle and end, full of meanings in words and letters that state the complete and pure holy life. He bears that Teaching, practises it verbally and mentally touches it and penetratingly see it. He is satisfied with whatever gain of robes, morsel food, dwellngs and requisites when ill. He is a gainer for nothing, a quick and easy gainer of the four higher states of the mind, the pleasant abidings here and now. Destroying desires, releasing the mind and released through wisdom, here and now he abides having known and realized. Bhikkhus, the bhikkhu endowed with these five things belongs to the four directions.
