Experiencing
Disillusion Releases all Longing for the Entire World!
The
Blessed Buddha once said:
What,
Ānanda, is the experience of Disappointment with this entire
World?
Whatever there is in the mind of
clinging to the world,
craving for the world,
concern for the world, longing for the world,
tendency & inclination towards
the world, adherence & devotion to the world, bias, all this a Bhikkhu
leaves,
gives up, keeps away, above & aloof, by relinquishing & releasing detachment!
This itself is the very experience of Disappointment, Disillusion,
Discontent,
Disenchantment, Dislike, Distress & Dissatisfaction with this entire World...
Mental Phenomena related with the
Craving that causes Suffering:
There are four kinds of
Clinging:
1: Clinging to
Desire for Sensing.
2: Clinging to various
Wrong
Views.
3: Clinging to rituals and superstition.
4: Clinging to the
concept of self, ego, I, me, identity, & the
notion "I Am"!
All forms of clinging have to cease before any suffering is stilled...

Absence of Clinging is
indeed Bliss!

These drifting drives & lurking liabilities are
often deeply
hidden in the mind!
Simile:
The worldling resorts back to the
world like a worm resorts back to its hole!
The Noble freed by disappointment
leans, tends & inclines towards Nibbana!
The Reward is:
Approach to Nibbāna by relinquishing all longing back to
this or any world!
