Diversity of Contacts
prompts Urge & Search:

The Blessed Buddha once explained:
There is eye-sensitivity, visual forms,
& visual consciousness.
The meeting of these three elements, is eye
Contact...
There is ear-sensitivity, audible sounds, & auditory consciousness.
The encounter of these three elements, is ear
Contact...
There is nose-sensitivity, smellable odours, & olfactory consciousness.
The occurrence of these three elements, is nose
Contact...
There is tongue-sensitivity, tastable flavors, & gustatory consciousness.
The happening of these three elements, is tongue
Contact...
There is body-sensitivity, sensible touches, & tactile consciousness.
The coming together of these three elements, is body
Contact...
There is mental-sensitivity, mental states, & mental consciousness.
The coincidence of these three elements, is mental
Contact...

Friends, it is in dependence on the diversity of these
elements, that there
arises the multiplicity of
perceptions; & in dependence on the
multiplicity of
perceptions, that there arises the variety of
intentions; & in dependence
on the variety of intentions, that there arises the
diverseness of contacts;
&
in dependence on the diverseness of contacts, that there arises
the array
of feelings; & in dependence on the
array of feelings, that there arises
the mishmash of desires; & in dependence on the
mishmash of desires, that
there arises the manifold of fevers; & in dependence on the
manifold of
fevers, that there arises the abundance of searches; & in dependence on the
abundance of searches, that there arises multifarious
enthralling urges...

How so? Regarding e.g. form; in
dependence on intention for form, there
arises contact with form; in dependence on contact with form, there arises
feeling born of contact with form; in dependence on feeling born of contact
with form, there arises desire for form; in dependence on desire for form,
there arises fever for form; in dependence on fever for form, there arises
the search for form; in dependence on the search for form, there arises the
need of form... Such is the emergence of this manifold hunt, urge & wanting!

Obvious examples:
Sex, porn, food, money, drugs, booze, praise, fame & various entertainments!
Intention=>Contact=>Feeling=>Desire=>Fever=>Search=>Urge=>Need=>Pain!
Every second of our lives this
bombardment of sensuality creates suffering!
