Itivuttaka 9

This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: “Monks, one who has not fully known & fully understood greed, who has not detached his mind from it and let go of it, is incapable of putting an end to stress. But one who has fully known & fully understood greed, who has detached his mind from it and let go of it, is capable of putting an end to stress.”

The greed with which beings go to a bad destination, coveting: from rightly knowing that greed, those who see clearly let go. Letting go, they never come to this world again.
