If we examine our senses they always result in producing within us the sensation of wanting 'to have'.
We smell something 'divine' we want to eat it or drink it. Just like the smell of coffee wofting out of the coffee shops in the mornings making your way to work. We taste something delicious and we want to have more. We see a colour and we want to wear it.
You can see the pattern emerging. So what happens with us is that the senses are pleased and then things work inside of ourselves to produce 'the desire to have'.
So we have to know what exactly pleases and displeases the senses. Knowing this allows us to know how our own senses work and what is important to both our mind and our senses.
For example, it seems that universally the sense of sight is pleased with symmetry and the right or asetic proportion of things. So then when our senses convey these qualities we end up liking or wanting to have what is symmetric or asetically proportioned.
Many egos work the same way within us. Lust is one example.
This is a kind of mechanical process within us, knowing this is very helpful and helps to understand more the different egos that we have. Understanding them more helps us to progress their dissolution.
