30.88

"Regarding the first, contemplating causes and conditions: know that these offences of mine relied on ignorance, improper reflection, and lack of the power of correct contemplation, failing to recognise faults and distancing oneself from good spiritual friends, Buddhas, and bodhisattvas; following the ways of Māra and traversing dangerous paths, like a fish swallowing a hook unaware of the peril, like a silkworm spinning a cocoon tangling and binding itself, like a goose rushing into fire burning and rotting itself—due to these causes and conditions, one cannot free oneself.
