Thank you, Lal! I agree with what you say. Understanding kama-sanna is an addition that helps to establish anicca-sanna.
If Sanna is fundamentally 100% distorted and even an Arahant is constantly plagued by kamasanna, how can one become aware of the true nature? If we contact the world with our five senses, it will always fool us. People could also take the view that everything is illusion or simulation (natthi ayaṃ loko), so it doesn’t matter whether they purify their mind or not. Ultimately, the only remaining possibility is to develop wisdom and to realize the fruitlessness of existence (anatta).
An ignorant mind has a lot of blind spots that can be shaken off by a variety of “shock value” insights. For example, if you have color red, one person will like it/love it, another will hate it, and another will not care. If the color red would be objectivly “red” and had a quality outside your perception, it would affect everyone evenly. You need to look for proper pointers that will create “gaps” in the sansaric mind, so one can see Nibbana
