For example, in the early days I even thought panchaskandha referred to the five physical senses, that’s how limited my knowledge was.Here’s how I interpret your questions:Relieved:  A sense of satisfaction that comes from realising something through dhamma, that moment when a piece of understanding clicks.Thrust coming back 10 times:  When listening to certain dhamma explanations, they initially seem to make sense. But later, when I reflect on them, they create more questions or inconsistencies, and some parts I simply don’t understand at all.Instant difference:  These teachings feel very different from the dhamma talks I used to listen to. Those were usually about isolated topics; e.g., what panchaskandha is, or what satta bojjanga means, and you just memorise the information. There was no bigger picture. But with this dhamma, you hear something and suddenly a whole path appears. You follow it and it leads you to a solid central understanding. It’s like being a caterpillar placed on a leaf of a huge tree: you walk to the centre of the leaf, then to the stem, then to a branch, then to a bigger branch, and eventually you reach the main trunk, no matter which leaf you start from.Refreshing:  The more you listen and reflect, the lighter and more liberated you feel.</blockquote>
