'Of the four, almsmen, continuations of recollection, I shall point out and the rise and the settling down. Hear that.

And what, almsmen, is the rise for body? With the rise of food, the rise for body; with the cessation of food, the settling down for body. With the rise of contact, the rise for feelings; with the cessation of contact, the settling down for feelings. With the rise of name-and-form, the rise for mind; with the cessation of name-and-form the settling down for mind. With the rise of attention, the rise for principles; with the cessation of attention, the settling down for principles.'
