AN 6.9.4

Comments:
This one was difficult in a couple of places.
1)sussuusati = he listens (almost put "listens well", not sure if it is correct)
2)aññaa citta'm = the thought of knowing (almost put "gnosis", but it is an uncommon word)
3)ananulomikaaya khantiyaa = with a tolerance that is not in conformity (almost put "a level of tolerance..." but I think this gets the point across anyway - hope so)
