"Just as when boys or girls are playing with little sand castles: as long as they are not free from passion, desire, love, thirst, fever, & craving for those little sand castles, that's how long they have fun with those sand castles, enjoy them, treasure them, feel possessive of them. But when they become free from passion, desire, love, thirst, fever, & craving for those little sand castles, then they smash them, scatter them, demolish them with their hands or feet and make them unfit for play.
"In the same way, Radha, you too should smash, scatter, & demolish form*, and make it unfit for play. Practice for the ending of craving for form.
"You should smash, scatter, & demolish feeling*, and make it unfit for play. Practice for the ending of craving for feeling.
"You should smash, scatter, & demolish perception*, and make it unfit for play. Practice for the ending of craving for perception.
"You should smash, scatter, & demolish fabrications*, and make them unfit for play. Practice for the ending of craving for fabrications.
"You should smash, scatter, & demolish consciousness* and make it unfit for play. Practice for the ending of craving for consciousness — for the ending of craving, Radha, is Unbinding."
*The five aggregates (see lables below)
