We take many Resolutions on every New Year.
But they are followed very rarely.
Why?
The things we get attached to our Consciousness that it is difficult to shake them.
We look at sense objects.
We feel them, either by curiosity , Peer pressure or by what others tell us.
Before experiencing the objects of the senses, these objects were there , they would be even after we leave them.
It is only when we attach our selves to them we experience them.
Like Liquor.
We take to Drinking, out of curiosity,peer pressure or we hear of it often.
Before that it was there and it would be if we leave them alone.
So the experiencing and the subsequent enjoyment is because of our attachments to these objects of senses.
The operative Principle here is the 'Attachment'
Our seeking objects of enjoyment is of two kinds.
One, that we attend to because we want to 'satisfy' a need, more specifically an 'urge'
This demand of ours originates from our Instincts.
There are these primary instincts.
Survival,
Thirst,
Hunger,
Sex, and
Gregariousness(to be with others).
Satisfaction of these instincts provides us 'Relief' more than pleasure.
Pleasure comes later when we get used to these objects when we start accessing them more than we need and start getting pleasure, the next stage of Satisfaction.
Then this pleasure seeking becomes a Habit and you are hooked.
One becomes miserable if one does not get these objects.
had we remained at the 'Satisfaction Level, this would not have happened.
In Sanskrit these needs to relieve one's urges are called 'Upadhi'( not the Philosophical term Upadhi)
You need to relieve yourself, you do it;but you do not persist or crave for it, unless you have a Constipation problem!![]()
