"You need to connect with the khandhas (aggregates).
Names alone won't do.You need to find the khandhas directly.
Consider how to find them.
It's like a strange fruit.
Not like a jujube,
Not like a citron,
Not like a lime.
Someone cuts it into four pieces
And eats it with salt.
Don't they have to describe how it tastes?
'It's sour, with some sweetness,
Has some bitterness,
And some spiciness too...'
Don't they say this?
When others standing nearby hear this description,
Don't they know about it?
They hear 'it's spicy, bitter,
And sour...'
But is knowing through hearing the same as knowing through tasting?
Knowledge through direct experience can be clearly understood.
Knowledge through words cannot be truly understood.
That's just perceptual knowledge (saññā).
Knowledge through direct experience is... penetrating,
Clear and distinct.
Study this difference well."
