To whom Right knowledge has accrued by virtue of the acquisition of Right Faith, on the destruction of the darkness of faith - obstructing infatuation, that excellent soul begins to practise the Rule of Right Conduct, to be rid of personal likes and dislikes (i.e. to attain the state of desirelessness) Description :
Infatuation is named as delusion also. During the state of delusion a Living being becomes senseless.

Suppose there is a yuoung man and his mother, both of them were too much sensuous, indulged in copulation activity. On one dark night both of them got up from their beds. started separately in opposite directions to satify the lust for sexual satisfaction. On the way, they happened to meet with each other. The night was utterly dark, hence they failed to recognise each other. The woman was pleased to think that she had found her lover and the son was pleased to find her beloved. Both went to the bed and were just ready to satisfy their sensuous desire, suddenly a flash of light sparkelled in the sky, which was sufficient for them to recognise each other and so they seperated each other. This flash of light saved them
