1.87

一者、欲。欲離世間一切妄想顛倒,欲得一切諸禪智慧法門故。亦名為志,亦名為願,亦名為好,亦名為樂。是人志願好樂一切諸深法門故,故名為欲。如佛言曰:「一切善法,欲為其本。」

The first is aspiration (chanda). This means the desire to leave behind all worldly false thoughts and inversions, and the desire to attain all approaches to the Dharma of dhyāna and wisdom. It is also called resolve, also called vow, also called fondness, and also called delight. Because this person resolves upon, vows for, is fond of, and delights in all deep approaches to the Dharma, it is therefore called aspiration. As the Buddha said: "Of all wholesome dharmas, aspiration is the root."
