What is the meaning of the lines below?

“Dīghaṁ assasanto ‘dīghaṁ assasāmī’ti pajānāmi, dīghaṁ passasanto ‘dīghaṁ passasāmī’ti pajānāmi;”
rassaṁ assasanto ‘rassaṁ assasāmī’ti pajānāmi, rassaṁ passasanto ‘rassaṁ passasāmī’ti pajānāmi;
‘sabbakāyappaṭisaṁvedī assasissāmī’ti pajānāmi …pe…”

Yes. This is a good point. Those verses are about how to practice Ānāpānasati/Satipaṭṭhāna Bhāvanā to get rid of bad habits that lead to perpetuating the rebirth process.

I just re-wrote one of those posts in the section mentioned below:
“How Habits are Formed and Broken – A Scientific View”

It is one in a series of old posts:
“9. Key to Ānapānasati – How to Change Habits and Character (Gati)”

Please comment on any of those posts. I will revise them as needed.
