Sense pleasure is directly linked to the prison of “I”. If you really want to understand your life from the spiritual realm, you’ll have to get very quiet and become aware of how subtle sense pleasure is…
Through the senses a label of pleasure is applied, and those labels are constant. Everything is judged, even labeling a pen on the desk is a judgment. Not a harmful one, but a judgment just the same. When you learn not to label you can become aware of the distractions that keep you from going beyond the prison of sense pleasures. With this new awareness your mind finally settles enough to notice the deeper view. This is the initial awareness, but it will require much more practice to go deeper yet. The deeper you go, the more you will have to let go of that which is sensory. And the more the sensory world is let go of, the more you will understand the deeper view and the freer you will be.
The only reason life is viewed from “I” by so many people is because there isn’t awareness of quietness that’s necessary to view it differently. This isn’t something that’s right or wrong, but it is limiting. Without the discipline to understand the difference between the prison of sense pleasure and the deeper view, there will be no difference and the prison of “I” will be the only view you will have. Not right or wrong, but limiting and what is limited is your label…
