Friends:
Diversity of Contacts gives many Urges & Searches:
There is eye-sensitivity, visual forms, & visual consciousness.
The coincidence of these three elements, is eye Contact...
There is ear-sensitivity, audible sounds, & auditory consciousness.
The coincidence of these three elements, is ear Contact...
There is nose-sensitivity, smellable odours, & olfactory consciousness.
The coincidence of these three elements, is nose Contact...
There is tongue-sensitivity, tastable flavors, & gustatory consciousness.
The coincidence of these three elements, is tongue Contact...
There is body-sensitivity, sensible touches, & tactile consciousness.
The coincidence of these three elements, is body Contact...
There is mental-sensitivity, mental states, & mental consciousness.

Friends, it is in dependence on the diversity of these elements, that there
arises the diversity of perceptions; & in dependence on the diversity of
perceptions, that there arises the diversity of intentions; & in dependence
on the diversity of intentions, that there arises the diversity of contacts;
&
in dependence on the diversity of contacts, that there arises the diversity
of feelings; & in dependence on the diversity of feelings, that there arises
the diversity of desires; & in dependence on the diversity of desires, that
there arises the diversity of fevers; & in dependence on the diversity of
fevers, that there arises the diversity of searches; & in dependence on the
diversity of searches, that there arises the diversity of enthralling needs...
How so? Regarding e.g. form; in dependence on intention for form, there
arises contact with form; in dependence on contact with form, there arises
feeling born of contact with form; in dependence on feeling born of contact
with form, there arises desire for form; in dependence on desire for form,
there arises fever for form; in dependence on fever for form, there arises
the search for form; in dependence on the search for form, there arises the
need of form... Such is the emergence of this manifold hunt, urge & wanting!
Every second of our lives this bombardment of sensuality creates suffering!
