Question 7

6 animals- pot . stone . fire 🔥

Answer 7

Each of the six animals struggles to go off in a particular direction. The strongest one pulls the others along until it gets tired and another one takes over. This illustrates the fragmentation of our experience by way of the six sense-doors as long as mindfulness of the body is not established. We keep getting pulled here and there, depending on which sense-door has for a moment gathered the greatest strength to take us along.
When we are rooted in whole-body awareness, sensually alluring objects do not easily set the mind on fire. Embodied awareness can yield a sense of inner contentment as a source of joy, and being filled with such joy we will not be like an empty pot that takes in anything that comes along just to get filled up. Whatever others may throw at us will just bounce off, instead of entering.
