Yes. A single citta vithi is gone in a split second. The Buddha said billions of citta vithi can run within the “blink of an eye.”

  • When a mind starts focusing on a sensory input (if it is interesting), attachment to it grows with each second.
  • That is why one must be mindful and stop “running with it” in the early stages.
