Which six? It is impossible for a person with attainment of view to approach any formation as permanent. It is impossible for a person with attainment of view to approach any formation as happiness. It is impossible for a person with attainment of view to approach any dhamma as self. It is impossible for a person with attainment of view to perform unmitigatable kamma. It is impossible for a person with attainment of view to go back to see purity in auspicious omens. It is impossible for a person with attainment of view to seek someone worthy of offerings outside of here.

These indeed, o monks, are six impossible situations."
