Enjoyment leads to wandering...

Enjoyment leads to wandering,
while renunciation leads to stability in the self.

Enjoyment gives birth to strong craving,
desires and passions, which bring only suffering and misery;
while renunciation makes such impulses weak,
and devoid of support; they disappear of their own accord,
even as fire gets extinguished in the absence of fuel.
