The Discourse on Elements
330.
At Sāvatthī.
"Whatever, monks, desire and lust there is regarding the solid element, that is an impurity of the mind.
Whatever... regarding the liquid element...
Whatever... regarding the heat element...
Whatever... regarding the air element...
Whatever... regarding the space element...
Whatever desire and lust there is regarding the consciousness element, 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."
