1.51

The Buddha said: "When śramaṇas practice the Way, they should be like an ox carrying a burden through deep mud: utterly exhausted, it does not dare to look left or right, but hastens to get out of the mud so that it may rest. Śramaṇas should regard passions and desires as worse than that mud; by mindfully focusing straight on the Way, they can be free of all suffering."
