+Essence of j2๐ Second Jhฤna
* Compared to first jhฤna, which still involves linguistic verbal mental talk of V&V๐ญ,
* in second jhฤna that V&V is sublimated into the subverbal mental processing of S&S๐๐ญ.
* That subverbal S&S can either passively enjoy this pleasant abiding, or engage in subverbal Dharma investigation, for example seeing dukkha, seeing cause of dukkha, etc.
* As MN 20 says, starting with second jhฤna, one starts to become a master of thinking what one wants to think, and not thinking what one doesn't want to think. In contrast, the first jhฤna accomplishment was that one hasn't learned the art of ๐๐ถ noble silence yet, but one at least prefers thinking skillful Dharma related thoughts over unskillful worldly Dharmas.
