Thig 6.7 PTS: Thig 163-168- Gutta
(The Buddha admonished me:) Gutta, devote yourself to the goal for which you went forth, having discarded (hope) for a dear son of your own. Don't fall under the sway of the mind.

Hoodwinked by mind, beings in love with Mara's realm, roam through the many-birth wandering-on, unknowing.

Abandoning these lower fetters, nun — sensual desire, ill will, self-identity views, grasping at precepts & practices, <p style="text-align:center;">and uncertainty as the fifth — <p style="text-align:center;">you won't come <p style="text-align:center;">to this again.

<p style="text-align:center;">Forsaking passion, conceit, <p style="text-align:center;">ignorance, & restlessness <p style="text-align:center;">—cutting through (all) the fetters — <p style="text-align:center;">you will make an end <p style="text-align:center;">of suffering & stress.

<p style="text-align:center;">Discarding birth & wandering-on, <p style="text-align:center;">comprehending further becoming, <p style="text-align:center;">free from hunger <p style="text-align:center;">in the right-here-&-now <p style="text-align:center;">you will go about <p style="text-align:center;">totally calmed.
