Eye of the Bird

Digha Nikāya Chapter number two

In the section Indriyasaṁvara under the section Samādhi

Instructions for sense restraint 

For guarding of sense doors

One remedy for a sense object

Not observance of the features and details of the sense object

In consonance with the Dhammachakkapavattana translation of Mahasyi Sayadaw

Where a sense object like sight for the eye,

A sense object like dhamma/idea for the mind

Not merely a sight, dhamma or idea

But a series of events from the object to the origin of the universe

The direct comparison in consonance with the incident

The incident of the teachings of Dronacharya to the Pandavas and the Kauravas,

Where the teaching regarding archery and target a bird on a tree

After the question of the picture of the target in the mind of every student,

While others inclination of details and features on the target,

The reply of Arjuna with the bird's eye, nothing more nothing less,

Not a coincidence but in parallel with the Digha Nikāya section above,

Arjuna, likely the fire element or otherwise a state of matter, the Plasma,

First question, about the avoidance of features and details of the sense object?

Thought process in terms of the four primary elements,

Everything with four primary elements at the base level,

So, the avoidance of mental burden and the achievement of the final truth at the same time
