Mindlessly the Citta states an assertion

Mindlessly the Citta states an assertion, jumps to a conclusion: proliferation and fantasy follow. Asubha works the same way but is fully conscious and intended, i.e. mindful. The bodily response is immediate in both cases: hence the 'reality' of mental perceptions. Pity it takes the Citta so long to realise this.

Patient endurance: the practice of skilful development.
