I don't consider habits as trivial. Those who say to discard habits, meaning to discard thoughts, will not generate feelings. Just as if you discard the seed, the power to grow a tree within it will cease. In my experience, no preparation can be made from a seed; once it's planted in the field, nothing can be done. The field has become accustomed in such a way that even if no seed is sown, something will happen. Like when it rains, the ground, due to its nature, starts creating wild things, obstructing the water. The soil within it has a habit that leads to the creation of wild things in some form or another.
When the mind dwells on an object for more than a certain period, habit begins to form. For example, I see many people in the market, but I don't remember all of them. We remember only those with whom an event happens or whom we observe for a longer time. Only then does their image become firm within us. And also note, when the eyes gaze at any object for a long time, they don't just see it, they create plants and fruits immediately. That is, they form an impression towards it.
If you just pull out any object from the field, how will it become a tree? In the field, there must be a certain time limit for the seed to germinate. Just as a certain time limit is needed for a seed in the womb to begin the process of becoming a child. The nature of the womb is that if any seed enters it, it initiates the process of making a child. If anyone does not want a child, they claim to use a contraceptive that destroys the seed. Here, when you claim something in the womb, the process of making a child stops. After a certain age, the process of making a child in women's wombs naturally stops. We all know this.
Some subjects are like a womb of the mind. Where any external subject that stays beyond a certain time limit will generate some feelings and thoughts. Because the nature of the mind is to give the shape of a tree to every incoming subject. Just as a certain time limit is needed for a seed in the womb to become a plant.
After a certain time limit of staying within a certain time limit in the mind, habit forms in it.
