From attachment springs grief,
From attachment springs fear.
For one who is wholly free from attachment
There is no grief, whence then fear?
From lust springs grief, from lust springs fear.
For one who is wholly free from lust
There is no grief; whence then fear?
From craving springs grief, from craving springs fear.
For one who is wholly free from craving
There is no grief; whence then fear?
—Buddha Shakyamuni, Dhp XVI, Piyavagga
