🌟🗒️ To fully let go of our clinging to the pleasurable states, Buddha offers the following instructions :
1️⃣First, break down your state of concentration into the five aggregates (physical form, feelings, perceptions, thought fabrications, and consciousness) that comprise it.
2️⃣Then, apply the three perceptions (It’s inconstant and stressful, so why perceive it as you or belonging to you? You should actually perceive it as not-self) to those aggregates, to see that they are inconstant, stressful, and not-self.
3️⃣As you develop dispassion even for the subtle pleasure and equanimity of concentration—because you apprehend the stress that goes into creating or fabricating them—you incline the mind to the unfabricated.
4️⃣Then, as fabrications fall away and you discern the deathless, be careful not to cling even to that act of discernment.
As you develop dispassion for it, your dispassion becomes all-encompassing. There’s nothing left to cling to, and you can reach total unbinding.
💪🏼This is how our feeding habits come to an end : not because we force ourselves to stop eating, but because we’ve arrived at a state where there’s no need to feed: the ultimate release, free from hunger, at last.
