But because the earth element is pleasurable—soaked and steeped in pleasure and not steeped in pain—sentient beings do love it. If the water element … If the fire element … If the air element … If the earth element were exclusively pleasurable—soaked and steeped in pleasure and not steeped in pain—sentient beings wouldn’t grow disillusioned with it.

But because there is gratification in the earth element, sentient beings do love it. If the earth element had no drawback, sentient beings wouldn’t grow disillusioned with it. [Read More]
