Staying at Savatthi. “Monks, if someone were to give a gift of one hundred serving dishes [of food] in the morning, one hundred at mid-day, and one hundred in the evening; and another person were to develop a mind of good-will — even for the time it takes to pull on a cow's udder — in the morning, again at mid-day, and again in the evening, this [the second action] would be more fruitful than that [the first].
“Thus you should train yourselves: 'Our awareness-release through good-will will be cultivated, developed, pursued, handed the reins and taken as a basis, given a grounding, steadied, consolidated, & well-undertaken. That's how you should train yourselves.”
Now think of what is gained by one focusing on serving Alms, doing such filled with metta, having the change in the flow of ordinary life often. With each and every step, even while harmless working for food and in between resting.
Step by Step, right view, the virtuous Noble disciple head toward the Brahma Viharas, head to Khema while already a God under humans, not easy ever to meet.
