When a meditator can clearly notice these pairs uninterruptedly, the particular features such as body, head, hand, and leg, are no longer apparent to him, and there appears to him the idea that
everything is ceasing and vanishing. At this stage he is likely to fell that his contemplation is not up to the mark. but in fact, it is not so. Mind as a rule takes delight in dwelling on the sight of
particular features and forms. Because of their absence, mind is wanting in satisfaction. As a matter of fact, it is the manifestation of the progress of insight. At the beginning, it is features that are
clearly noticed first, but now their ceasing is noticed first, because of the progress. Only on repeated reflection, features appears again, but if they are not notices the fact of dissolution reappears
to remain. So one comes to know by direct experience the truth of the wise saying: "When a name or designation arise, a reality lies hidden; when a reality reveals itself, a name or designation
disappears
When the meditator notices the objects clearly he thinks that his noticing are not close enough. In fact, because the insight is so swift and clear he comes to know even the momentary
subconsciousness in between the processes of cognition. He intends to do something, for instance, bending or stretching an arm, and he readily notices that intention which thereby tends to fade
away , with the result that he cannot bend or stretch for some time. In that event, he should switch his attention to contemplating the occurrences at one of the sense doors.
