Was able to penetrate 10 dukkha in aahara which I’m listing out here:
Cycle of dukkha relating to aahara:
- Finding livelihood in order to get the aahara is a huge burden and dukkha
- Danger’s to life and property in search of aahara is huge burden and dukkha
- With quest on food, one get’s possessed with Raga, Dvesha and Moha and is completely entangled and mesmerised.
- To get food, one needs to employ one or many of dasa akusala and develop habits in order to survive the “self”. In that killing becomes predominant – mind, speech and body
- With these akusala kamma, one starts enjoying and suffering for the deeds in order to possess new ways to getting food
Results of dukkha on aahara:
- Food might remain undigested, putrid and distasteful which eating and thus can cause poison, vomiting, burning sensation, stomach aches etc., Also, one has to relieve for nature calls every now and then and cannot guarantee on how many times and how much quantity and texture the person is going to get and what complications it might lead to.
- Food creates all kind of diseases and one cannot say what kind and how it will affect and whether there would be a respite from them.
- Creation of Raga, Dvesha and Moha and it’s cycle results in more and more being bound to samsara and the person needs to do this exercise of finding food and suffering because of that again and again. This is because one need to plan for “future” and “time immemorial” and suffer in fear all the time for not getting the food at right time.
- In order to secure oneself, more and more dasa akusala kamma is undertaken and to create good conditions as well, need to do kusala kamma like dana, bhavana and other meritorious deeds to desire a good outcome in this and future lives
- Due to wrong actions in above, the being starts rotating in samsara from the 4 lower levels to human level and back to lower level since the food creates all kind of attitudes which harm the being all the time
