Embodied said: “The “sine qua non” condition for not getting attached to a single material thing is not to experience it at all,or is to experience it but without getting attached ?”
This is a very good question.
The goal is to eventually “be able to experience it but without getting attached”.
It is important to realize that this CANNOT be accomplished directly by will power alone, even though sheer will power should be used to prevent obviously immoral actions.
One will be able to accomplish it over time, when one does two things:
1. Cultivates Anapana (Satipatthana) where one forcefully rejects bad thoughts and cultivates good thoughts.
2. Cultivates anicca sanna over time.
1 and 2 depend on each other and feed on each other.
This is the key. There is a lot to think about it, and that is what I tried to do emphasize with the 5 sets of discourses on Tilakkhana. I am not sure how many are able to grasp this.
