The Discourse on the Eye
322.
At Sāvatthī.
"Whatever desire and lust there is regarding the eye, monks, that is an impurity of the mind.
Whatever desire and lust there is regarding the ear, that is an impurity of the mind.
Whatever desire and lust there is regarding the nose, that is an impurity of the mind.
Whatever desire and lust there is regarding the tongue, that is an impurity of the mind.
Whatever desire and lust there is regarding the body, that is an impurity of the mind.
Whatever desire and lust there is regarding the mind, that is an impurity of the mind.
When, monks, for a monk the impurity of the mind regarding these six states has been abandoned, his mind slants towards renunciation.
The mind developed through renunciation appears workable for phenomena to be realised by direct knowledge."
