The Discourse on the Higher Fetters
181.
"There are, monks, these five higher mental fetters.
Which five?
Lust for fine-material-sphere existence, lust for immaterial-sphere existence, conceit, restlessness, ignorance -
these, monks, are the five higher mental fetters.
For the direct knowledge, full understanding, utter elimination, and abandoning of these five higher mental fetters, the noble eightfold path is to be developed.
What is the noble eightfold path?
Here, monks, a monk develops right view, based upon seclusion, etc.
he develops right concentration, based upon seclusion, based upon dispassion, based upon cessation, maturing in release.
For the direct knowledge, full understanding, utter elimination, and abandoning of these five higher mental fetters, this noble eightfold path is to be developed."

Here, monks, a monk develops right view, etc. he develops right concentration, with the removal of lust as its final goal, with the removal of hate as its final goal, with the removal of delusion as its final goal, grounded upon the Deathless, heading for the Deathless, with the Deathless as its final goal, slanting towards Nibbāna, sloping towards Nibbāna, inclining towards Nibbāna. For the direct knowledge, full understanding, utter elimination, and abandoning of these five higher mental fetters, this noble eightfold path is to be developed." The tenth.
