1. Even after thorough experimentation, one cannot find any essence in a plantain tree, so also one can never find true happiness from sensory pursuits.
Jain Education International
2. Sensuous enjoyments yield momentary pleasures but cause prolonged misery. By their very nature, they give maximum sorrow and minimum happiness. They are an obstacle to emancipation and a veritable mine of evils.
Utta. Sū. 14.13
For Private & Personal Use Only
Bhā. Pa. 144
3. A person suffering from itches finds pleasure in scratching of his body resulting in immense pain later on. Similarly, an infatuated person erroneously considers the sensuous enjoyment as a source of happiness.
