21: Desires<br />

412. Rathakāro va cammassa parikantaṁ upāhanaṁ,<br />

Yaṁ yaṁ cajati kāmānaṁ taṁ taṁ sampajjate sukhaṁ.<br />

Sabbañ-ce sukham-iccheyya, sabbe kāme pariccaje.<br />

Just as the cobbler cuts the skin<br />

So it fits the shoe he's making,<br />

With the giving up <strong>of</strong> desires<br />

True happiness can be attained.<br />

Wishing for complete happiness,<br />

He should abandon all desire.<br />
