With sensual lust     I burn.
My mind     is on fire.
Please, Gotama,     from compassion,
        tell me how
        to put it out.

[Ven. Ananda:]

From distorted perception
        your mind is on fire.
Shun the theme         of the beautiful
                accompanied by lust.
See mental fabrications     as other,
                as stress,
                & not-self.

    Extinguish your great lust.
    Don't keep burning again & again.
   

Develop the mind
    -- well-centered & one --
        in the foul,
        through the foul.
Have your mindfulness
    immersed in the body.
Be one who pursues
    disenchantment.
Develop the theme-less.
Cast out conceit.
Then, from breaking through
        conceit,
    you will go on your way

                at peace.
