Penang Retreat Nov 2019 Q&A Group 2 Round 2 (14:50-16:25)
Because of the mind, some rupa happens. Vayo (wind) element is an example of cittaja rupa. Vayo element or energy arises depending on intension. Vayo element is strength, also called bala rupa. It comes from the mind, it is mind created. (Intention creates physical strength to do things.)
Take for example, when the mind is calm, the senses are clear and you can find something easily; if the mind is agitated, it will be difficult to find anything.
The mind can create rupa, but rupa cannot create the mind.
