Only one who is free from stain,
well disciplined, honest,
And endowed with self-control
is worthy of the monk's robe.
The robe can only be worn by one that is worthy. It is not to say that one cannot practice the Dharma while one is lacking in the prerequisite characteristics. Just that before one can put the robe on they need to have changed enough to be worthy.
