As preached by Buddha there are four types of people in the world, they are ugghaṭitaññū, vipañcitaññū, neyya and padaparama. The last person is definition is here . Can anyone please guide me how how to identified the pada-parama type people. **Update** Based on the comments, I was looking for the definitions of above four types of people and finally found that in Sutta Pitaka -> Kuddaka Nikaya -> Nettiprakaranaya -> Desanāhāravibhaṅga. And the english translation is not yet done, but you can find the pali here . I've highlighted the important words in below quoted section from above sutta. > Tattha bhagavā ugghaṭita&#241;&#241;ussa puggalassa nissaraṇaṃ desayati, > vipa&#241;cita&#241;&#241;ussa puggalassa ādīnava&#241;ca nissaraṇa&#241;ca desayati, > neyyassa puggalassa assāda&#241;ca ādīnava&#241;ca nissaraṇa&#241;ca > desayati. - nissaraṇaṃ = deliverance - ādīnavañca = danger - assādañca = attractiveness - puggalassa = person - desayati = lecturing / teaching So here are three main things in Buddhism which are assāda&#241;ca, ādīnava&#241;ca and nissaraṇa&#241;ca. And the details of how it relates to the path can be found in <a href="/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.accesstoinsight.org%2Ftipitaka%2Fsn%2Fsn22%2Fsn22.109.wlsh.html" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Sotapanna Sutta <i class="fas fa-external-link-alt fa-xs"></i></a> as below. > And when, monks, the Ariyan disciple understands as they really are > the arising and the passing away, the attractiveness and the danger, > and the deliverance from the five groups of clinging, he is called an > Ariyan disciple who is a Stream-winner, not liable to states of > woe,[1] assured of final enlightenment. So in summary, out of the the four persons three has defined the based on what to be taught. 1. ugghaṭita&#241;&#241;ussa -> Teaching deliverance is sufficient. 2. vipa&#241;cita&#241;&#241;ussa -> Teaching danger and deliverance is sufficient. 3. neyyassa -> Has to teach all three which are attractiveness danger and deliverance. 4. Pada parama -> Can not attain Nivana as he is the one for whom the words are the utmost attainment'.;Whoever, though having learned much, speaking much, knowing many things by heart, and discoursing much, has not penetrated the truth.
