Samyutta Nikaya II.69
Iccha Sutta
Desire
For free distribution only, as a gift of Dhamma

[A deva:]

With what         is the world tied down?

    With the subduing
of what         is it freed?
    With the abandoning
of what         are all bonds
            cut through?

[The Buddha:]

With desire     the world is tied down.
    With the subduing
of desire         it's freed.

    With the abandoning
of desire         all bonds
            are cut through.
