Summary

What is the right thing to do in life?

Can there be right action when there is fear?

Desire arises when there is fragmentary perception of the senses.

When there is a perception with all one’s senses fully awakened, there is no desire.

The brain is registering present incidents which become knowledge, and we act according to that knowledge.

Desire is the movement of thought driven by sensation. The pursuit of that image is the movement of pleasure.

Is pleasure love?
