Tam ve pasahati maro
Vato rukkhamva dubbalam.
Asubhanupassim viharantam
Indriyesu susamvutam
Bhojanamhi ca mattannum
Saddham araddhaviriyam
Tam ve nappahahati maro
Vato selamva pabbatam.
Whosoever lives delighting in visual forms, with senses un-subdued, immoderate in food, sluggish and inert, -- him verily does Mara overthrow as the wind a weak tree.
Whosoever lives taking no delight in one's own body or outer things, with senses restrained, moderate in food, full of confidence and strenuous, --him verily Mara does overthrow any more than the wind a mountain rock.
Story
It was a story of two brothers who both became monks, the elder by conviction and the younger without any faith. The younger monk constantly thought of material pleasures and succumbed to the temptations of his former wives and finally disrobed. The elder monk tried hard and finally attained Arahantship. His former wives tried in vain to force him to disrobe.
