"By disgust with the world, venerable sir, what does the soul produce?"
"By disgust with the world it swiftly arrives at disgust toward heavenly, human, and animal sensual pleasures; it becomes detached from all sense-objects. Becoming detached from all sense-objects, it renounces undertakings. Renouncing undertakings, it cuts off the path of the cycle of rebirth, and it sets out on the path to perfection."
