TEXT (1958) BOARS, BUCKS AND OTHER ANIMALS,-WHO HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD
OF THE DOINGS,BECOME PERTURBED AT THE TOUCH
OF FEMALES OF THEIR OWN KIND. (1958)
COMMENTARY.
Doings '-Intercourse and the like.
"Sabhāgagati, etc. elo. '--fernales of the same kind,-i.e. the sow and the doe.
When there is contact--proximity of these, there is perturbation' disturbance,-i.e. desire for intercourse. -(1958)
TEXT (1959). SUCH QUALITIES AS WISDOM, GENTLENESS, COMPASSION AND THE LIKE,
WHICH ARE NOT HABITUALLY PRACTISED IN THE WORLD, - DO NOT PROCEED BY THEMSELVES, LIKE PRIDE, ETC.-(1959)
COMMENTARY. It must be admitted that the feelings of Love, etc. appear by themselves, as the effect of habitual experience in the past because such qualities as wisdom, gentleness and the rest,--which are not habitually practised in the world,--are not found to appear by themselves ;-like Pride, etc. ;- this is an instance of dissimilarity. Pride'is haughtiness.-Otherwise, like Pride, etc., Wisdom and the rest also would appear by themselves.-(1959)
. Some people have held the following view "Love proceeds from Phlegm (in the physical constitution of the Body), -Hatred from Bile,--and Delusion from Wind".
The answer to that is as follows:
TEXTS (1960-1961). THE ORIGINATION OF THE FEELINGS CANNOT BE DUE TO PHLEGM AND THE REST. BECAUSE, AS IN THE PREVIOUS CASE, THE ENTIRE FALSITY OF THIS IDEA IS PERCEIVED IN EXPERIENCE. FOR THESE REASONS, THAT TIME REPEATED PRACTICE DURING WHICH IS THE CAUSE OF THE FEELINGS APPEARING FOR THE FIRST TIME, MUST BE THE OTHER BIRTH', WHICH THUS BECOMES ESTABLISHED; AND THE DOCTRINE OY NON EST BECOMES DAMNED
(1960-1961)
COMMENTARY. Balasa' is Phlegm.
As in the previous case, in the case of objects, as shown under Text 1950 above.
