Striving

Bhikkhus, there are two kinds of striving, which are attained with difficulty. What are they? Striving of a lay person living in a household to supply robes, morsel food, medicinal requisites and dwellings and a homeless one striving to give up all endearments. Bhikkhus, of these two a homeless one striving to give up all endearments is more noble. Therefore bhikkhus, you should strive to give up all endearments.
