Do i understand it correctly, Lal, that those anusaya can only be triggered after a certain period when the brain is ripened to a certain degree?
On internet i encounter info that immediately after birth there is allready a certain preference for, for example, sweet tastes. It is also said on internet (dutch sites) that a baby senses with all senses. So when it experiences a taste it can also see certain colours, have smell sensations etc. This seems to show that de brain is not ripened yet to only smell smells, hear sounds etc.
