Panchdashi - Swami Vidyaranya

न  जातु  कामः  कामानामुपभोगेन  शाम्यति  |

हविषा  कृष्णवर्त्मेव  भूय  एवामिवर्धते  ||

na jatu kamah kamanamupabhogena shamyati |

havisha krushnavartmeva bhuya evamivardhate ||

Desires are never quelled by enjoyment but increase more like the flame of a fire fed on clarified butter.

परिग्यायोपभुक्तो हि भोगो भवति तुष्टये |

विग्न्याय सेवितश्चोरो मैत्रीमेति न चोरतां ||

parignyayopabhukta hi bhogo bhavati tushtaye |

vignaya sevitaschoro maitrimeti na chortaam ||

But when the impermanence of pleasure is known, the gratification of desire may bring the idea of "enough of it". It is like a thief who having been employed knowingly in service does not behave like a thief but like a friend.
