What Is Called “Looking with High Eyes”?

The five aggregates, the eighteen realms, and the twelve entrances all arise from the convergence of various conditions; when the conditions disperse, they vanish. Therefore they are false and unreal, without self. How is this principle to be realized and understood? The mind consciousness can think it over and grasp the general idea, yet deep down one clearly knows this is not true understanding—knowing that it is so, but not yet knowing why it is so; one still needs to continue toward a deep and definite clarity. This requires that, within meditative concentration (samādhi), one suspend this principle in the mind and let the manas deliberate upon it. When the manas deliberates without clinging to sense objects, at a certain elevated level, this is called "looking from a high vantage point," and is also called deep and subtle investigation.
