The demon that rests in our heart is our enemy. This self enemy so called sensual desire is heavier in nature and one can hardly recognize it as it is clouded by ones pride and lust. The moment one delves into unwholesomeness the proclivity to promote ones sensual desire gets heightened and veiled. When your mouth still remain wet and feel like taking a piece of pizza after filling your tummy, that's sensual desire. The whole world is full of temptations! Just walk around the market; your eyes will always keep on looking at the beautiful people and glue on fashions flooding in the market- and that's sensual desire! Sensual desire is always there deeply glued in ones mind and it's elevated whenever one wants to have comfort or pleasurable sensation and gratification.
When people become unhappy or unsuccessful, they just blame the external factors like: money, time, relation, climate etc. The real reason, of course, lies inside us because of our reactions to sensual contacts. Logically, no sense contact can be permanent but we can't really deny them. They rise and go; they don't reside- just like the breath. But when mara or the sensual desire is in action, despite its non-ownership it reappears and lures you. Yet all the problems are created by our own reactions because we are not fully satisfied ourselves and we think that the fault lies with the object- not with the self.
The sensual desire arise from the fact that we want to possess, keep and experience the pleasure time and again. People keep on watching, exploring and adventuring in search of more fun, enjoyment, new places and new stuffs. Indeed more people are able to gratify their sensual desire with newer bungalows, fashionable dresses, exorbitant cars and plastic surgeries. The poor too has their sensual desire; of buying more cattle, planting more cardamoms and visiting the uncharted places. And yet people endeavors to remain happy simply by gratifying their desire, thus, mounting their defilement.
Sensual desire is a repetitive cycle and it's never paid off! We crush people around, feel hungry and thirsty again, and even want to hear, see and touch things again. Once the sensual desire has been gratified, it's never done and a new desire continually arises and keep going. The more one has, the more he remains unfulfilled! Sensual desire is a crime, it's sin and even a debt!
Letting go off sensation means letting go off dissatisfaction. The only way to eliminate sensual desire is to to go off craving. Besides moderation, the best way to fight sensual desire is to put up a fence against one of our desires and seeing things by part and reflecting upon it. Unveil your sensual desire, mediate on it and unfollow the followed grossly path. Clear the bushes and deseed the thorns of five desires.
