[290] There are, bhikkhus, forms cognizable by the eye that are wished for, desired, agreeable, endearing, connected with sensuality, enticing to lust. If a bhikkhu does not delight in them, does not welcome them, and does not remain attached to them, this bhikkhu, bhikkhus, is called one who has not swallowed Māra's hook; he has broken the hook, shattered the hook; he has not come to calamity, has not come to disaster, and the Evil One cannot do with him as he wishes. … There are, bhikkhus, tastes cognizable by the tongue … There are, bhikkhus, mental phenomena (dhammā) cognizable by the mind that are wished for, desired, agreeable, endearing, connected with sensuality, enticing to lust.
