Whenever we see let’s say chocolate, we can recall/feel it’s taste through the past memory of the chocolate’s flavour, we remember how it tastes, we can feel it on our tongue just by thinking about it.
This is “Defiled Vinnana”, right?1 user thanked author for this post.
Does an Anagami forget how a particular pleasure feels?
For example, the Taste of a vanilla ice cream, normal people recall how it tastes and then start craving for it. But how does an Anagami respond to it? Can he recall the taste but still not attach/want it or will he not be able to recall it’s taste at all?
Does this affect the memory power/recalling power of the Anagami?
I know taste is mind-made feeling but I still want to confirm.
Whenever any desire or craving comes in the mind I try to remove it focusing on the stress that comes with it and the relief the mind feels when it’s not there.
Sure . [email protected] is my email

Hello Yash RS. I read your bio and you say you are a 20 year old sotāpanna. You are even aiming for the Anagami stage!! I am very happy to see someone in my age group progressing in magga phala. As you know most people in our group age are not interested in Dhamma. Is it possible to contact me on my email to discuss your experience of the Dhamma? This is my email :[email protected]
Sure Gad🙏

I understand all this now, but the video #46050, the girl died with dosa in her mind, which matches the gati of niraya which is in the same kama bhava like the human realm. So why can’t she be born in niraya since the mindset changed to dosa? Or is it that a very high dosa is required for that to happen?

“Yes. The video is not correct in that aspect. Just because she had dosa in her mind at the moment of death of her PHYSICAL BODY does not matter.”
So how do we explain this with the above approach?
“There are several such examples mentioned in the Tipiṭaka. A famous example is about a frog who was attentively listening to a discourse of the Buddha. Of course a frog could not understand what the Buddha was saying. But the “gati sound” (“gati handa” in Sinhala) that came from the Buddha combined with sansaric gati of the frog led the frog to attentively listen to the pleasing sound from the Buddha and to have a pleasant mindset.
While listening to the discourse, the frog was accidentally killed by the walking stick of a person there, and the frog was born in a deva loka instantaneously. “
So how did the frog’s bhava end if it was killed by someone, or was it that his bhava ended that’s why it got killed?
There is one more account when a monkey offered the Buddha some honey and after accepting the food, the monkey was very happy and died because of falling in the excitement and becomes a Deva. So how did the bhava end in both the cases?

Also, having sex before marriage is a bad kamma? If yes then why is it so? Is it a sexual misbehaviour?
So does it mean that if a person has committed many bad kamma, he or she will not end up in the apaya unless the human bhava is exhausted?
Do the bad kammas not exhaust the human bhava?
Thanks for asking Jorg!
I experience much low cravings now.
I also have reduced tendency of getting angry.
I almost everytime think about some Dhamma concepts whenever I am Idle.
My mind is not heavy that much now, definitely there has been significant progress.
I have also started to Feel and realise the agitation that comes with sensual cravings and anger.
Even if I get such thoughts I don’t Just try to suppress them forcefully as I used to do earlier, i try to Remove them with the realisation of agitation that comes with such thoughts. That has helped a lot!
I believe that I have attained the Sakadagami stage but the aim is Anagami
Thanks

But if we take a general case of a Sakadagami Deva who exhausted his lifetime, now why doesn’t he become a Deva again? but attains nibbana?
He still has the remaining Samyojana in his mind and to be free from future births one must remove all Sanyojana if I am correct.
So why is he becoming free from all births if he has sensuality in his mind?
