The immediate cause for the arising of craving, and of suffering, is therefore not something outside of us. 

It is, rather, the sensations that occur within us. 

To free ourselves from craving and suffering, we must deal with this inner reality of sensations. 

This is the practical way to emerge from suffering. 

🌷 By developing anicca-vijja (the wisdom of impermanence), we learn to cut the knots of our misery and witness the true nature of Dhamma.

Vedana, then, is the cause of our bondage when it is ignored.
