Dhammapada · 24.11

Yo nibbanatho vanādhimutto, vanamutto vanameva dhāvati;Taṃ puggalametha passatha, mutto bandhanameva dhāvati.

Yo nibbanatho vanadhimutto, vanamutto vanameva dhavati; Tam puggalametha passatha, mutto bandhanameva dhavati.

He who is free from the forest of craving but is inclined toward the forest — freed from the forest, he runs back to the forest. Look at that person: liberated, he runs back to bondage.
