In order to know whether the power to digest, not grain, but the fire, is in its stomach or not,
the pitcher starts eating the smoke.
While eating the smoke
the tongue of the pitcher doesn't feel aversion,
SO
it does not vomit the smoke.
The reason for vomitting is nothing but
internal aversion.
This shows
the presence of liking in the mind for sensuality and passions in their not getting vomitted.
Now, gradually
the smoke stops rising,
the light of the smokeless fire
becomes visible in the world of the kiln.
Even the golden brightness of the hot gold gets subordinated
to the internal brightness of the kiln. Today at this time
280 Silent Soil
the full heat of the fire is being released.
Getting the touch of the fire the lustre of the pitcher's body burns
