Dhamma so subtle and profound

My meditation skills are so subtle and profound that, even while I am eating my meals, I can see animals eating animals. When I look inside me, inside my intestines, I see human eating human, because the meats of the animals that I am eating belong to humans just like us, but the forms they took were those of a pig, a duck or a chicken. Whatever forms of animals they took were conditioned by the karmic retributions applicable to them.
