Give up greed, hatred and delusion

 

"Through greed, hate and delusion,
overwhelmed by greed, hate and delusion,
one aims at one's own ruin, at others' ruin,
at the ruin of both, and one suffers mental pain and grief.

If, however, greed, hatred and delusion are given up,
one aims neither at one's own ruin nor at others' ruin,
nor at the ruin of the both and one suffers no more mental pain and grief."
 
Anguttara Nikaya
