Sensory Pleasure

इन्द्रिय सुख

Why does pleasure fade even when the experience is repeated?

Core answer

A proposal to examine

Sensory pleasure is a temporary response of the self through the body and is naturally limited in duration and quantity. Repetition moves from necessary to enjoyable, then neutral and eventually intolerable because sensation cannot meet a continuous need. Enjoyment becomes balanced when it is held within health and no longer mistaken for lasting happiness.

Reflection

Notice the point at which enjoyment becomes repetition rather than nourishment.
