### [90.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.90.17)

詐偽諂佞者　心住利養中  
由食利養故　不樂閑靜處  
心常緣利養　晝夜不休息  
彼處有衣食　某是我親友  
必來請命我　心意多攀緣  
敗壞寂靜心　不樂空閑處  
常樂在人間　由利毀敗故  
墜墮三惡道　障於出世道

> Those who are deceitful and flattering  
> Have minds that dwell in material gain.  
> Because they feed upon material gain,  
> They take no delight in secluded, quiet places.  
> Their minds constantly dwell upon gain,  
> Without rest day or night:  
> "That place has food and clothing;  
> So-and-so is my close friend;  
> He will surely come and invite me."  
> With minds dwelling on so many attachments,  
> They ruin a tranquil mind  
> And do not delight in empty, quiet places.  
> Always delighting in being among human society,  
> Because they are ruined by material gain,  
> They fall down into the three evil destinies,  
> Obstructing the supramundane path.
