[52] "Householder, suppose a man, having asked for goods on loan, were to load a carriage with fine jewels and earrings (yānaṃ oropeyya pavaramaṇikuṇḍalaṃ). Preceded and surrounded by those borrowed goods, he would proceed along the market street. Seeing him, people would say: 'A wealthy man indeed, sirs! It seems this is how the wealthy enjoy their wealth.' But wherever the owners might see him, there the owners would take back what was their own. What do you think, householder — would that warrant a change of mind in that man?"
"No indeed, venerable sir. Why is that? Because, venerable sir, the owners take away what is their own."
"In the same way, householder, a noble disciple reflects thus: 'Sensual pleasures (kāmā) have been likened by the Blessed One to borrowed goods; they bring much suffering (dukkha), much despair, and the danger (ādīnava) here is still greater' … he develops only that equanimity."
