The Discourse on Desire and Lust
168.
At Sāvatthī.
To the Venerable Rādha seated to one side, the Blessed One said this:
"Rādha, whatever desire, whatever lust, whatever delight, whatever craving there is for matter, abandon that.
Thus that matter will be abandoned, its root cut off, made like a palm stump, brought to obliteration, subject to non-arising in the future.
Whatever desire, whatever lust, whatever delight, whatever craving there is for feeling, abandon that.
Thus that feeling will be abandoned, its root cut off, made like a palm stump, brought to obliteration, subject to non-arising in the future.
Of perception...
whatever desire, whatever lust, whatever delight, whatever craving there is for activities, abandon that.
Thus those activities will be abandoned, their root cut off, made like a palm stump, brought to obliteration, subject to non-arising in the future.
Whatever desire, whatever lust, whatever delight, whatever craving there is for consciousness, abandon that.
Thus that consciousness will be abandoned, etc.
subject to non-arising in the future."
