The depth of second omen

To be honest, the second omen of sickness doesn’t mean the sickness what majority are believing to be sickness.  Like we discussed in earlier chapters, sickness is not about the appearance of symptoms or diagnose with a disease.  Being “Healthy” doesn’t mean the hidden stage of any disease.  It is far deeper than the visible facts. 

Even the person who never get even a headache or sneeze in his whole life became an enlightened one. And he saw this second omen of sickness too.  His name was the Great Arihath Bakkula.      So, omen of sickness is deeper than what we believe it is. 

As you can see, we are actually, depending on the definitions we have created.  A mind which is unaware of the eternal truth is obvious sick and bound with many mental sicknesses too.  A body which is a victim of all kinds of causes to become sick is bound with many physical sicknesses too.  So, you should see the “Ability” of being sick and how it is happening now!

You will just know when the moment your "omen of sickness" comes to you! You will just know what to do next!  Till then all these are just bundle of words and just teachings which you also believe that these are Buddhist Teachings!

In brief;

First Level - There is an ordinary view of sickness process, which is a blind way, obviously.  Because it is purely relying upon the external, visible facts of life.  This is the view of majority.  This was the view of Channa the Charioteer too.  "We were born...and healthy... there are so many known and unknown diseases... and we can be sick any time.  Everyone has to face the sickness if they were not careful.  We can get rid of the sicknesses by taking precautions and medicine too. So, we must follow this kind of lifestyle to maintain our good health”, This First Level View is so limited and purely rely upon the visible facts!

Second Level - There is the extraordinary view of seeing the omen of sickness process.  When compared to the first level, this level is filled with little bit of wisdom.  In this level, a person able to see the "sickness process of everything including own self" by its true nature.  This level is not relying upon the visible facts!  And the mind is set to liberate and focused on finding the eternal truth!  

Third Level - The Correct View of sickness process.  This is also can be called as the noble view of sickness process.  This view only can be explained by a Samma Sambuddha or a true disciple of Samma Sambuddha only.  This level is far beyond what is visible and also far deeper than what one sees as the omen of sickness process.  Without entering to this level, one can’t truly liberate.

The ordinary view.  Blindly believing anything just because they are easy to understand.  Remember, that's the nature of those who are in the first level.  But at least you should be in the second level of extraordinary view, which dig deeper than what is visible.  So, let's dig deep and clear the conclusions with the noble words of Samma Sambuddha!
