雖經久受用,境無窮盡際,如惡醫治病,汝身勞無果。如有依土蟲,愛土終不息,如是愛欲人,欲望增亦爾。
《四百論 明破淨執方便品》
這是中觀四百論一段有關世間慾望,尤其是淫慾的論述,莫學粗顯的翻譯如下
Even if you enjoy this for very long time, the desire is endless.
It is like curing disease by an incompetent doctor. Your effort will end up doing nothing beneficial.
It is also like the worm loving earth, which is ceaseless.
Likewise, if you have strong desire for humans, such desire will keep growing stronger and stronger.
Abandoning Belief in Cleanness, Four Hundred Stanzas
然後剛剛找了一下英文版的四百論,翻譯的版本是這樣
Regardless of the amount of time,
Concerning objects there is no limit.
Your exertion for the body's sake
Is, like a bad physician's, useless.
Just as the craving for earth
Does not stop in those that subsist on it,
Similarly, longing for sensual pleasure
