When a car passes by, how is a meditator aware of it?

Which sense doors tell the meditator that a car is passing by?

It is because of seeing and because of hearing (and thinking). If you know that you’re seeing and hearing (and thinking), then that is a meditator’s awareness.

Only knowing that a car is passing by, the whole process is a concept (the story line), not nature, or reality.
