Bondage and Servitude


The brahmin Aramadanda asked Venerable Kaccana, "What is the cause, what is the reason why nobles, brahmins, and householders all quarrel with each other?"

Venerable Kaccana answered, " They do so because of their bondage and servitude to sensual pleasures, their attachment to and greed for sensual pleasures."

The brahmin asked, "What is the cause, Master Kaccana, what is the reason why monks quarrel with monks?"

Venerable Kaccana answered, "They do so because of their bondage and servitude to opinions, their attachment to and greed for opinions."
