# (2023-02-23) Q&A session relating to Nibbana Tags:: [[Indriya Samvara|Indriya Saṁvarā]], [[Nibbana]], [[Kama|Sensual Pleasures]] - https://youtu.be/eyjEJiVfkWc - Great video on Indriya samvara and nibbana - When Sila improves, you become more observant and wisdom increases. - because you're no longer lost in the worldly thoughts (due to involvement with the 6 senses) and is able to *observe* ***everything*** around you. - the mind is now in more "samadhi", and hence have more "panna". - Spiritual v.s. worldly - Spiritual = experiencing the **_same_** worldly things, but ***NOT*** getting ***==associated==*** with (attached to) them. - Worldly = experiencing the same things, but heavily associated. - [[Indriya Samvara|Indriya Saṁvarā]] it not doing *ANYTHING special*, but simply stop engaging in the 6 senses as *if they're **special*** (E.g. due to names)! - i.e. stopping the [[Sankhara]]!! - there is, in fact, no pleasure in the 6 senses!! ***Only suffering** from holding them!!* - Eryu: e.g. today, when staying at a Hawaii hotel and seeing a "nice" view of a golf course, the mind then runs towards thinking in the future how do I again book the same room with the same view? It's so much preparations!!! - @@ When you let go of whatever is ***prepared***, you're automatically in ***nibbana***. - you don't need to (and cannot) ***seek*** nibbana! #eryu/learning - Matt: Nibbana is not to be ***gained***!! But when you give up everything then there's nibbana! - because when consciousness is not grasping the 6 sense stimulus, it becomes ***pure***, and it *experience **itself***. - @@@@ *Sense pleasures* are ***real***! But they're ***insatiable***!! — they are ***gone*** *the **very moment*** they arise!! - they're also very minute compared with *jhanic pleasure*. - Jhanic pleasure works the same way! You ***throw out*** the previous jhana when you attain the next! - the sensual pleasure looks like shit when you attain higher Jhanas 😂 - and eventually you throw the 8th jhana and attain nibbana
