And that which clings perversely to false idealism, fear, grief, despair and vanity is the
product of Ignorance.
Hear further the three kinds of pleasure. That which increases day after day delivers one
from misery,
Which at first seems like poison but afterwards acts like nectar – that pleasure is Pure, for
it is born of Wisdom.
That which as first is like nectar, because the senses revel in their objects, but in the end
acts like poison – that pleasure arises from Passion.
While the pleasure which from first to last merely drugs the senses, which springs from
indolence, lethargy and folly – that pleasure flows from Ignorance.
