7.37

所生枝不絕　但用食貪欲
養怨益丘冢　愚人富汲汲
雖獄有鎖鍱　慧人不謂牢
愚見妻子飾　深著愛其牢
慧說愛為獄　深固難得出
是故當斷棄　不親欲能安

“Generations of offspring never cease,
all driven by eating and greedy desire.
Feeding the enemy only swells the burial mounds;
the foolish man hurries about accumulating wealth.
Though a prison has chains and shackles,
the wise do not call it secure;
the foolish, seeing the adornments of wife and child,
become deeply attached and cherish that confinement.
The wise declare that desire is the prison,
deep and solid, difficult to escape;
therefore one should cut it off and abandon it;
without intimacy with desire, one can find peace.”
