The Supremely Enlightened Buddha Said:
Yadā have pātubhavanti dhammā,
Ātāpino jhāyato brāhmaṇassa;
Athassa kaṅkhā vapayanti sabbā,
Yato pajānāti sahetudhamma’’nti
When all phenomena become clear
To a Brahmin dwelling diligently
With a calmly jhanic mind,
Then all his doubts vanish
>From the moment s/he begins to see
Every phenomenon has a cause.
Comment:
Without necessary causes and conditions
Phenomena or things cannot arise.
Without seeing these causes and conditions
One cannot be free
>From shackles and knots in life.
Every problem has a necessary cause.
Every pain has a necessary cause.
The question though is:
Does one see it?
What is seen, one does not see as it really is.
What one sees, it is not properly seen.
Thus, not seeing properly
One’s life becomes baffled more and more
As one journeys through the cycle of life.
Then, to see properly
One needs to put full energy
Into the present moment diligently
With a fully absorbed and calmed mind.
This has to be done
As if a meditative monk
Who de-conditions the conditioned life.
Shutting down the senses
And calming the mind,
When one sees,
With wisdom eye,
That everything has a necessary condition,
One’s all struggles in life
Will begin to disappear
Creating a life
Free from pains and anxieties.
