Desire
Icchā Sutta  (SN 1:69)

“With what is the world tied down?
With the subduing
of what is it freed?
With the abandoning
of what
are all bonds
cut through?”

The Buddha:

“With desire the world is tied down.
With the subduing
of desire it’s freed.
With the abandoning
of desire
all bonds
are cut through.”
