sn.1.65 Saṁyutta Nikāya (Linked Discourses)

Bondage

“By what is the world held in bondage?
What is its means of travelling about?
What is it that one must forsake
To cut off all bondage?”

“The world is held in bondage by delight;
Thought is its means of travelling about.
Craving is what one must forsake
To cut off all bondage.”
