[248] Bhikkhus, if there is no lust (rāga) for the nutriment (āhāra) of edible food (kavaḷīkāra), no delight (nandi), no craving (taṇhā), consciousness does not become established there and does not grow. Where consciousness is not established and does not grow, there is no descent of name-and-form (nāmarūpa). Where there is no descent of name-and-form, there is no growth of volitional formations. Where there is no growth of volitional formations, there is no production of renewed existence in the future. Where there is no production of renewed existence in the future, there is no future birth, aging, and death. Where there is no future birth, aging, and death — that, bhikkhus, I say is without sorrow, without dust, without despair.
Bhikkhus, if there is no lust for the nutriment of contact (phassa) … If, bhikkhus, there is no lust for the nutriment of mental volition (manosañcetanā) … If, bhikkhus, there is no lust for the nutriment of consciousness, no delight, no craving, consciousness does not become established there and does not grow. Where consciousness is not established and does not grow, there is no descent of name-and-form. Where there is no descent of name-and-form, there is no growth of volitional formations. Where there is no growth of volitional formations, there is no production of renewed existence in the future. Where there is no production of renewed existence in the future, there is no future birth, aging, and death. Where there is no future birth, aging, and death — that, bhikkhus, I say is without sorrow, without dust, without despair.
