But because, monks, there is gratification in the world, therefore beings become attached to the world. If, monks, there were no danger in the world, beings would not become disenchanted with the world. But because, monks, there is danger in the world, therefore beings become disenchanted with the world. If, monks, there were no escape from the world, beings would not escape from the world. But because, monks, there is escape from the world, therefore beings escape from the world. As long as, monks, beings did not directly know as it really is the gratification of the world as gratification, the danger as danger, and the escape as escape, for so long, monks, beings from the world with its gods, with its Māras, with its Brahmās, from the generation with its ascetics and brahmins, with its gods and humans, did not dwell escaped, unbound, free, with a mind rid of barriers. But when, monks, beings directly knew as it really is the gratification of the world as gratification, the danger as danger, and the escape as escape, then, monks, beings from the world with its gods, with its Māras, with its Brahmās, from the generation with its ascetics and brahmins, with its gods and humans, dwell escaped, unbound, free, with a mind rid of barriers."
