"Bhikkhus, one who seeks delight in form seeks delight in suffering.
One who seeks delight in suffering, I say, is not freed from suffering.
One who seeks delight in feeling ... in perception ... in volitional formations ... in consciousness seeks delight in suffering.
One who seeks delight in suffering, I say, is not freed from suffering.
"One who does not seek delight in form ... in consciousness does not seek delight in suffering.
One who does not seek delight in suffering, I say, is freed from suffering."
