1. Does a man eat meals?
It issaid & taughtthat whateveryouhave as mealsisimportantinrunningthe life of aperson.
To day I am goingto showyouthe realitybehindthis“eatingmeals”.
Look at thispicture!
A man iseatingrice.
Doesa man eat rice?Your answerwill be “yes,he does”
To day I am goingdeeptoshowyou whatactuallyhappeninghere is?
As youalreadyknow,aman is a combinationof 2.The body& the mind.Otherwiseevenadeadbody
can eat rice.Bodyis the one that developsdue to4typesof foodwhichwe donot mention here due to
elongationof the letter(you canreadmyfirst“Wisdom“article) & the mindgetsthe feelingof it.
Whenwe thinkof the body,the bodydoesnotknow that you are eatingrice or any othermeal nor does
it feel the taste.itis inanimate like adeadbody& addedmindisthe one givingyouthe taste.The mindis
the one that takes….
1. Vision of rice.
2. Smell of rice.
3. Taste of rice.
4. Tactile sensationof rice.
5. Added thinkingaboutthe rice.
Here,youhave a question.The mindgetsonlythe feelingasmentionedabove,butthe actionof the
eatingprocess iscarriedout bythe bodywiththe helpof the mindthat isinside.
So,thinka bit now!
The minditself cannot handle the foodorrice.What it doesislettingthe bodyinto an actionto get
onlythe feelingof it.The mindof aneverycreature isdoingthe same job as mentionedabove.
So,the bodygraspsfood.
The mindsensessensations.( the minddoesnothave amouth to puttasty foodinside.)
Whateverthe tastyfood,like divinemeals,youtake;the mindgetsonlythe feelingof it. The mindcan
not doanythingbeyondthis.THAT’SWHY THE LORD BUDDHA HAS SAIDTHAT THE LIFE MEANS THE
FEELING OF 5 SENSESWITHOUT A MAN & nothingmore than that.
2. The life at anyone momentisan eruptionof ONEof the 6 sensesseeing,hearing,smelling,tasting,
sensingtactile orthinking.
Is there anythingmore foryouto pointout?Whateveryoudo means,youmake one feelingoutof 6, at
a time.If you see this,the life isthismuchof simple ¬hingtoworry.
Readthe PRETHA VATTU PRAKARANAYA,here youhave enoughstoriesof how some PRETHASeat
meals.There the Buddhahassaidthat how they eatmeals& whattheydo isONLY THE SENSING
MEALS.( The hungermeansthe bodyachesdue to lack of meals)
Now,tell me,isthere anydifference betweenthe man&the PRETHASin meal taking?Notonlythem
but the whole creaturesof the universe have the same realityof meal taking.Thatis….
TheySENSE THE EATABLES. That’sall.
Thank you!
