Butterfly investigates into consciousness once more

Butterfly arrives with a big smile in front of Rabbit,

"Goodmorning Rabbit, may you have a blissful day."

"Why are you so happy Butterfly, utters Rabbit, what is it that excites you?"

"Oh, I am thrilled, discovering something new", answers Butterfly.

Tell, Please do tell me about it, encourages Rabbit.

Well I don't know if I can, replies Butterfly.

"Let me see, I will try" response Butterfly.

"There are 4 stages of consciousness or rather

three spheres and one stage, explains Butterfly, taking a break...."

After a while: "the sphere of material-, fine-material- and immaterial-

consciousness and a supermundane consciousness".

Oh...oh, says Rabbit and what is the last one to be.

Oh that is a consciousness we ordinary beings do not 'experience'

easily and yet is to know without effort", says Butterfly

"You can compare it with my nose and my ability to smell...."

"I can smell a Butterfly Tree at a distance of three kilometers....

Ordinary living beings, like you, would get lost

if they suddenly could smell like that."

"I see", says Rabbit

"Am I not lucky today, I can only smell what I can smell?",

"Oh sure", answers Butterfly, "you must have a happy day today",

"being so fortunate and lucky".

"Well," says Rabit and sit straight up making itself a little bit longer,

"Actually, I am", says Rabbit,

not noticing Butterfly smiles again,

spreading her wings

and is carried away on a breeze of air

rising up from the sunny earth this morning.
