The Dangers of Sensuality, Forms and Feelings

'Good is restraint over the eye;
good is restraint over the ear;
good is restraint over the nose;
good is restraint over the tongue.

Good is restraint in the body;
good is restraint in speech;
good is restraint in thought.
Restraint everywhere is good.
The monk restrained in every way is freed from all suffering.'

Dhammapada Verse 360 & 361

The Dangers of Sensuality, Forms and Feelings

' .."Monks, when the wanderers of other persuasions say this, they are to be told,
'What, friends, with regard to sensuality, is the allure, what the drawback, what the escape?
What, with regard to forms, is the allure, what the drawback, what the escape?
What, with regard to feelings, is the allure, what the drawback, what the escape?'

When asked this, they will not manage an answer and, what is more, will get themselves into trouble.
Why is that?
Because it lies outside their range.

Monks, in this world with its devas, maras, and brahmas, in this people with its contemplatives & brahmans, its royalty & commonfolk,

I do not see anyone who can satisfy the mind with an answer to these questions, aside from a Tathagata, a Tathagata's disciples, or someone who has heard it from them...'
