Dhammapada 75 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


5 - Balavagga, The Fool
14 - Vanavasitissasamanera Vatthu

Anna hi labhupanisa, anna nibbanagamini;
evametam abhinnaya, bhikkhu Buddhassa savako;
sakkaram nabhinandeyya, vivekamanubruhaye.
75: Indeed, the path that leads to worldly gain is one and the Path that leads to Nibbana is another. Fully comprehending this, the bhikkhu, the disciple of the Buddha, should not take delight in worldly gain and honour, but devote himself to solitude, detachment and the realization of Nibbana.
