“There’s no
escape
in the world,
so what are you trying to do
with seclusion?
Enjoy sensual delights.
Don’t be someone
who later regrets.”
“There is
an escape in the world,
well touched by me
with discernment—
something that you,
you Evil One,
kinsman of the heedless,
don’t know.
Sensual pleasures
are like swords & spears;
the aggregates,
their executioner’s block.
What you call sensual delight
is no delight for me.”
