Aniccasaññā Sutta

The idea of impermanence, if developed and cultivated, destroys sensual lust, lust for rebirth, ignorance, and conceit. S.iii.155‑7.

As a ploughman cuts through all roots when ploughing, as a grass-cutter cuts through reeds, as a bunch of mangoes cut through at the stalk, so too the idea of impermanence, if developed and cultivated, cuts through sensual lust, lust for rebirth, ignorance, and conceit.
