A verse shared with you

Dhammapada · 24.6

Yassa chattiṃsati sotā, manāpasavanā bhusā;Mahā vahanti duddiṭṭhiṃ, saṅkappā rāganissitā.

Yassa chattimsati sota, manapasavana bhusa; Maha vahanti dudditthim, sankappa raganissita.

He whose thirty-six streams flow strong toward the agreeable, whose thoughts grounded in passion sweep him along — that man of wrong views is carried by mighty currents.

— Dhammapada 24.6
