Some offer hearing and the other senses into the fires of restraint, while others offer sound and the other sense-objects into the fires of the senses.

Original plain-language translation

Two complementary disciplines: withdrawing senses from objects (restraint as fire) and offering objects back without grasping (engagement as fire). Renunciation and consecrated enjoyment are both sacrifices. The ascetic and the householder each have their altar.
