/////////////There are these four kinds of clinging: clinging to sensual pleasures, clinging to views, clinging to rituals and observances, and clinging to a doctrine of self. -- MN 9 translated by Bhikkhus Nanamoli and Bodhi



//////////////////"clinging" is "upadana" and it actually makes reference to fuel -- another form of nutriment, or food -- so what we have here is the fuel of views, of rituals and observances, and of belief in the self, as well as the fuel of "sensual pleasures" (though I do not think that what's meant there is limited to sensuality, but is, again, about everything sankhara-satisfying that comes in through the senses).



////////////////The belief that the world is just enables the individual to confront his physical and social environment as though they were stable and orderly. Without such a belief it would be difficult for the individual to commit himself to the pursuit of long-range goals or even to the socially regulated behavior of day-to-day life." (Lerner & Miller, 1978)
