devastating thing on earth. An Ice cream or a chocolate can be a sense
object for a person. What? Are you saying Ice cream is more Alreadyamember?Signin

There is no way that you cannot hold on to a sense impressions, except
expressingit.
Howdowedefineasenseobject?Thereisabigdifferencebetweenan
ordinary object and a sense object. First, the sense object deludes.
Delusion is the first and foremost characteristic of a sense object. It
deludes by beauty and aesthetics, pleasing color, taste, and form etc. An
ordinaryobjectdoesnotcreatedelusion.Second,thesenseobjectscreate
a feel of permanence. You feel the object is permanent and it stays
intact and that it is going to accompany you forever. An ordinary object
doesnotcreatethisfeeling.Third,Senseobjectsarenotsatiated,itasks
formore.Anordinaryobjectissatiated.Fourth,thesenseobjectscreate

effect which is not visible at the first sight. An ordinary object does not
createpain.

Therearesome,amanofinsight,whocanidentifyasenseobjectand
itsconsequences.Thedifferencebetweenamanandamanofinsight,a
Yogi is that the latter sees or recognizes the pain involved in the
object,justbyhavingalookatit,withoutgettingdeludedorenjoyingthe
sense object. Whereas the former gets deluded, enjoys, then suffers the
inevitablepain.

Wehavenowsomeideaofsenseimpressionsandsenseobjects.In
our lifetime, therefore, we carry innumerable sense impressions. Only
some percent of these sense impressions finds expression. The others
simply wait for the earlier cycle to complete or wait for favorable
conditions. When life ceases (death), the sense impressions continue to
