'I shall point out, almsmen, and the yokeable principles and the yoke. Therefor listen.

And which, almsmen, yokeable principles, which yoke?

Form, almsmen, a yokeable principle; what there the desire and passion is, therefor there the yoke. Feeling, almsmen, a yokeable principle; what there the desire and passion is, therefor there the yoke. Inclinations, almsmen, a yokeable principle; what there the desire and passion, therefor there the yoke. Cognition, almsmen, a yokeable principle; what there the desire and passion, therefor there the yoke.

These are called, almsmen, yokeable principles; this the yoke.'
