As long, Sire, as a monk does not perceive the disappearance of the five hindrances in himself, he feels as if in debt, in sickness, in bonds, in slavery, on a desert journey. But when he perceives the disappearance of the five hindrances in himself, it is as if he were freed from debt, from sickness, from bonds, from slavery, from the perils of the desert.


M. Walshe, trans. (1987), Sutta 2 (Samaññaphala Sutta), verse 74, p. 102 - Digha Nikaya
