In English
On the other hand, if we can pull out all the threads one by one, one thread after another, then the cloth will disappear. So if we make a proper and detailed enquiry and ask ourselves what is like the cloth and what are like the threads, we get the answer that the mind is like the cloth, desires are like the threads. By the desires, like the threads, coming together, we constitute the mind, which you may call the cloth. If you want to make the mind or the cloth disappear then you have to pull out, as you had pulled out the threads one by one, all the desires, one desire after another. So, because we are filling the mind, in fact, we are constituting the mind by putting together a large number of desires, a variety of desires; that mind made up of so many desires is giving us a lot of trouble. On the other hand, if we do not harbour these desires, we do not constitute the mind. That is not going to trouble us at all.
