mn101:25.2 ‘I’m in love with that woman, full of intense desire and lust.
mn101:25.3 When I saw her standing together with another man, chatting, giggling, and laughing, it gave rise to sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress for me.
mn101:25.4 Why don’t I give up that desire and lust for that woman?’
mn101:25.5 So that’s what he did.

mn101:25.9 “No, sir.
mn101:25.10 Why is that?
mn101:25.11 Because he no longer desires that woman.”
