I place my hand on the table. The sensation is very slight. I now, press the table and feel an obstruction depending on the pressure-reflection according to the pressure applied by me. This is Cognition. You look out of this window; you see a tree when light from your eyes interacts with light from the tree. Again this is Cognition.
By cognition of anything through the senses your energy is induced to rise to a certain level. This raising of the energy level will be acceleration or aggravation. Acceleration is pleasure and aggravation is pain. The third stage is where there is neither pleasure nor pain and that is peace. Cognition results in pleasure, pain or peace. This is Experience.
