1"Bhikkhus, (1) if there were no gratification in the world, beings would not become enamored of it; but because there is gratification in the world, beings become enamored of it. (2) If there were no danger in the world, beings would not become disenchanted with it; but because there is danger in the world, beings become disenchanted with it. (3) If there were no escape from the world, beings would not escape from it; but because there is an escape from the world, beings escape from it.

"So long, bhikkhus, as beings have not directly known as they really are the gratification in the world as gratification, the danger as danger, and the escape from it as escape, they have not escaped from this world with its devas, Māra, and Brahmā, from this population with its ascetics and brahmins, its devas and humans; they have not become detached from it, released from it, nor do they dwell with a mind rid of barriers. But when beings have directly known as it really is the gratification in the world as gratification, the danger as danger, and the escape from it as escape, then they have escaped from this world with … its devas and humans; they have become detached from it, released from it, and they dwell with a mind rid of barriers."

1"No cedaṁ, bhikkhave, loke assādo abhavissa, nayidaṁ sattā loke sārajjeyyuṁ. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi loke assādo, tasmā sattā loke sārajjanti. No cedaṁ, bhikkhave, loke ādīnavo abhavissa, nayidaṁ sattā loke nibbindeyyuṁ. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi loke ādīnavo, tasmā sattā loke nibbindanti. No cedaṁ, bhikkhave, loke nissaraṇaṁ abhavissa, nayidaṁ sattā lokamhā nissareyyuṁ. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi loke nissaraṇaṁ, tasmā sattā lokamhā nissaranti.

Yato ca kho, bhikkhave, sattā lokassa assādañca assādato ādīnavañca ādīnavato nissaraṇañca nissaraṇato yathābhūtaṁ abbhaññāsuṁ, atha, bhikkhave, sattā sadevakā lokā samārakā sabrahmakā sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya nissaṭā visaṁyuttā vippamuttā vimariyādīkatena cetasā viharantī"ti.
