The pleasure of spiritual emancipation and resultant liberation from mundane existence is infinite times the pleasure of subsided passions, which by itself is greatly pleasurable, can be sought painlessly, is free of any blemish or shame and is good and beneficial in result. Therefore, it is quite logical that we pursue the goal of such spiritual emancipation. Praised are such monks that follow the threefold path comprised of rightvision, right-knowledge and right-conduct to this end.
