Listen …
What are the things that fuel grasping? And what is the grasping?
The eye is something that fuels grasping.
The desire and greed for it is the grasping.
The ear … nose … tongue … body …
mind is something that fuels grasping.
The desire and greed for it is the grasping.
These are called the things that fuel grasping, and this is the grasping.”
