…in the Ariyan discipline these five strands of sense-desire are called bonds and fetters. ~ The Way to Brahma 27

1. Forms seen by the eye
2. Sounds heard by the ear
3. Smells smelt by the nose
4. Tastes savored by the tongue
5. Contact felt by the body

Let not those senses block your way to Brahma. Know they are present but rise above them. How? By #meditation practice, long hours of striving, and following the course of the four jhanas.
