[500] At Sāvatthī. Bhikkhus, the desire and lust (chandarāga) for forms — that is a corruption (upakkilesa) of the mind (citta). The desire and lust for sounds … for odours … for tastes … for tangibles … the desire and lust for mental phenomena (dhammā) — that is a corruption of the mind. Bhikkhus, when a bhikkhu has abandoned the corruption of the mind in these six cases, his mind (citta) inclines to renunciation (nekkhamma); a mind fully developed by renunciation appears workable for those things that are to be realized by direct knowledge (abhiññā). End of the second sutta. 3. Viññāṇa Sutta On the corruption of the mind
