"Enraptured with lust, enraged with anger, blinded by delusion, overwhelmed with mind (heart) ensnared, one aims at one's own ruin, at the ruin of 0thers, at the ruin of both, and one experiences mental pain and grief.
"But if lust, anger, and delusion are given up, one aims neither at one's own ruin, nor at the ruin of others, nor at the ruin of both. And one experiences no mental pain or grief. Thus is nirvana immediate, visible in this life, inviting, attractive, and comprehensible to the wise" (AN III.55).
