“Furthermore, householder, I have come to know that one who is involved with the world is bound by the chains of destructive envy and miserliness. O householder, I have seen that the vision of one who is involved with the world is clouded by the cataracts of ignorance. O householder, I have seen that one who is involved with the world drowns in the moat of delusion. O householder, I have seen that one who is involved with the world is carried away by the waves of lust. O householder, I have seen that one who is involved with the world is wounded by the arrows of desire. O householder, I have seen that one who is involved with the world is enveloped by the smoke of wrath and hatred. O householder, I have seen that one who is involved with the world is ablaze with the fire of passion. O householder, I have seen that one who is involved with the world is drenched in the poison of anger. O householder, I have seen that one who is involved with the world is encircled by the thorns of oppression. O householder, I have seen that one who is involved with the world loses their vigor in the forest of cyclic existence. [MS.5.b] Householder, when I saw that the vision of one who is involved with the world is clouded by these ten cataracts of ignorance, I was convinced to leave ordinary household life behind and become a renunciant.”
