Thank you, Taryal.
- Yes. There are many such examples of “built-in” saññā, which helps those species in many cases.
- On the other hand, the built-in “distorted saññā” providing a “false sense of pleasure” is common to all living beings, which traps them in the rebirth process. Living beings in “kāma loka” receive a false/distorted kāma saññā for sensory inputs. Rupa loka Brahmās receive a false/distorted jhānic saññā and Arupa loka Brahmās receive a false/distorted arupa samāpatti saññā.
- It is essential to distinguish between the two categories.
