The physical body of an Arahant is subject to the same biochemistry as any other human body.
- Of course, an Arahant would not consume any drugs or alcohol. But if he did, the biochemical reactions in the body would be the same.
We need to remember that the workings of kammic energy dictate “nature’s laws.” All biochemical processes take place according to kammic laws.
- Both mental and physical bodies in human bhava (any bhava) are according to the gati that led to grasping that human bhava in kama loka.
- One’s gati are according to the (abhi)sankhara cultivated. That lead to “bhava paccaya jati” according to Paticca Samuppada (“pati iccha” leading to “sama uppada.”) That is a critical outcome of Paticca Samuppada.
- See “Paṭicca Samuppāda – “Pati+ichcha”+“Sama+uppāda”
- This is a critical point to understand.
