Desire
translated from the Pali by
Thanissaro Bhikkhu
[A deva:]
With what is the world tied down? With the subduing of what is it freed? With the abandoning of what are all bonds cut through?
[The Buddha:]
With desire the world is tied down. With the subduing of desire it's freed. With the abandoning of desire all bonds are cut through.
