Preconditioning, Sensation and Natural

Preconditioning: Assuming without knowing. Depends on something


Acceptance
or someone outside, keeps changing. Not sure it leads to harmony or
contradiction
Sensation: taste of sound, touch, sight, taste, smell, 4 topics: food,
tasty-necessary  tasty-unnecessary  tasteless-unnecessary 
intolerable
Natural Acceptance: Purpose or what to be, what to do as a human
being. Leads to harmony (happiness) within, continuity is desirable,
possible
Natural Acceptance For relationship with human being
[the other is like me, mutual development]
For harmony in nature
Harmony within [mutual enrichment]
For co-existence in existence
[mutual fulfillment]
Happiness

About What to Do (Not about How to Do)


Excitement from Sensation = Happiness?
Physical thing  Contact with senses of body  Sensation (info from body)
 Tasted by self (I)
- If taste is favorable  Happiness (Temporary)
- If taste is unfavourable  Unhappiness (Temporary)

Sensation of Sound, Touch, Form, Taste, Smell


4 Topics: Food, Sleep, Fear/Security, Sex
(shabd, sparsh, roop, ras, gandh ki samvedna
4 vishay: ahar, nidra, bhay, maithun)

Sensation can be a source of excitement. Since it only provides temporary


happiness, one gets bored, keeps changing from one sensation to another

Sensation is not a source of continuous happiness (harmony):


Tasty-Necessary  Tasty-Unnecessary  Tasteless-Unnecessary  Intolerable
Dependence on other / outside (partantrata)
Excitement from Feeling from Other =
Other Human Being  Expression of Feeling  Feeling Received &
Happiness?
Evaluated by Self (I)
- If evaluation is favorable  Happiness (Temporary)
- If evaluation is unfavourable  Unhappiness (Temporary)

Feeling from other can not be a source of continuous happiness
