Do explain the cause of "Tanha"

When a vibration of light sound etc
touches our senses
a sensation arise.
Either we are unconscious about it (Moha)
or we like it, (Raga)
or we dislike it, (Dwesha)

In all the 3 cases we are attached to the sensation.
but we have the illusion that we are attached
to the outside object which arouse the sensation.

When you like Orange juice
you like the sensation it creates,
not actully the juice or the taste.
If the same sensation is created
by a synthatic flavour you can be deceived
and you will be happy.

if we act on these sankharas
of Raga, Dwesha Moha
upadana happens.
The result is a longer lifeline
in a similar quality.

Try your need to remember these things or understand.
Relate them to your own experiences.
