Marapasa Sutta: Mara's Power
translated from the Pali by
Thanissaro Bhikkhu
"There are forms, monks, cognizable via the eye agreeable, pleasing, charming, endearing, fostering desire, enticing. If a monk relishes them, welcomes them, & remains fastened to them, he is said to be a monk fettered to forms cognizable by the eye. He has gone over to Mara's camp; he has come under Mara's power. The Evil One can do with him as he wills.
"There are sounds cognizable via the ear...
"There are aromas cognizable via the nose...
"There are flavors cognizable via the tongue...
"There are tactile sensations cognizable via the body...
"There are ideas cognizable via the intellect agreeable, pleasing, charming, endearing, fostering desire, enticing. If a monk relishes them, welcomes them, & remains fastened to them, he is said to be a monk fettered to ideas cognizable by the intellect. He has gone over to Mara's camp; he has come under Mara's power. The Evil One can do with him as he wills.
"Now, there are forms cognizable via the eye agreeable, pleasing, charming, endearing, fostering desire, enticing. If a monk does not relish them, welcome them, or remain fastened to them, he is said to be a monk freed from forms cognizable by the eye. He has not gone over to Mara's camp; he has not come under Mara's power. The Evil One cannot do with him as he wills.
"There are sounds cognizable via the ear...
"There are aromas cognizable via the nose...

"There are ideas cognizable via the intellect agreeable, pleasing, charming, endearing, fostering desire, enticing. If a monk does not relish them, welcome them, or remain fastened to them, he is said to be a monk freed from ideas cognizable by the intellect. He has not gone over to Mara's camp; he has not come under Mara's power. The Evil One cannot do with him as he wills."
