The progression of mental defilement moves from bahidda to ajjhatta. Therefore, I speculate that ajjhatta kaya is a more personalized experience than bahidda kaya because it is further colored by vinnana. It’s like putting on tinted glasses over regular glasses. Is this correct?
Is the fact that an Arahant does not have bahidda kaya related to the idea that the citta is only defiled up to the third stage(mānasaṃ) of momentary defilement?
I would like to know about the defiling mechanism from bahidda to ajjhatta. What changes when it intensifies from bahidda to ajjhatta?
