Dhammapada 283 - 284

Verse 283:
O Bhikkhus, cut down the forest of craving, not the real tree; the forest of craving breeds danger (of rebirth).
Cut down the forest of craving as well as its undergrowth and
be free from craving.


Verse 284:
So long as craving of man for woman is not cut down and
the slightest trace of it remains,
so long is his mind in bondage
as the calf is bound to and ever follows its mother cow.
