“Rādha, you should give up any desire, greed, relishing, and craving for form; and any attraction, grasping, mental fixation, insistence, and underlying tendencies.
Thus that form will be given up, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, and unable to arise in the future.

consciousness; and any attraction, grasping, mental fixation, insistence, and underlying tendencies.
