Applications
From the time we are awake in the morning till the time we fall
asleep at night we are always in contact with five senses (visual
object, sound, smell, taste, touch) and with our own thoughts. If
the sense or the thought is good, we like it, we feel attached to it
and we wish to enjoy it some more. At this time lobha (greed or
attachment or desire) arises in our mind and lobha-måla cittas
will ensue.
If we also feel glad or joyful at the time, the lobha-måla cittas
will be somanassa-sahagataü. If we feel indifferent at the time,
the cittas will be upekkhà-sahagataü. If we are not aware of the
fact that akusala cittas are arising and they will bear bad results,
then our lobha-måla cittas will be diññhigata-sampayuttaü. On the
other hand, if we are aware that akusala cittas are arising and
they will bear bad results, then our lobha-måla cittas will be
diññhigata-vippayuttaü.
Moreover if we feel attached to the sense without being
prompted by ourselves or others, then our lobha-måla cittas will
be asaïkhàrikam. If we feel attached to the sense only after being
prompted by some one, then our lobha-måla cittas will be sasaïkhàrikam.
Asaïkhàrika citta is stronger than sasaïkhàrika citta and
it arises spontaneously.
Now can you name the citta that is arising in a person
listening to a pleasant song without giving any thought to kamma
and its effect?
