The  path of sensual pleasure [kamasukhallikanuyogal, is to seek for pleasures through the channels of the five outer senses: eyes, ears, nose, mouth and physical contact. Such pleasures reduce the seeker to worldly mundaneness. The more you let your mind be influenced by sense pleasures, the more defilements will accrue in the mind, in just the same way that the brightness of the sun can be covered up by clouds, defilements will cover up the innate brightness of the mind, and cripple its ability to perceive [magganana] the fetters that hold the mind back from Enlightenment or the fetters that hold the mind back from Enlightenment or the wisdom to know the Sadhamma to the appoint of attaining transcendental [lokuttara] attainments.
 
The path of sense pleasure fools the beings of the world into being contented with delusion, making them have to endure endless suffering in the Cycle of Existence. The Buddha taught us that the path of sense pleasure is sordid, worldly (i.e.for those still defiled), without benefit, ignoble, inappropriate for monks (because it is no path to release from defilements). These conclusions came from the supreme wisdom of the Lord Buddha.
