The Buddha asks Rahula to cultivate the practice of meditation in succession, on each of these elements, to become in mind like unto each element.
“Like unto earth not distressed, shamed or disgusted when unclean things are cast upon it”.
“Like unto water, not attached; not distressed, shamed or disgusted when it comes in contact with clean or unclean things”.
“Like unto fire not distressed, shamed or disgusted when it burns up a clean thing or an unclean thing.”
“Like unto air not distressed, shamed or disgusted when it blows upon a clean thing or an unclean thing”.
“Like unto the sky that does not stand upon anything and yet covers all agreeable and disagreeable things”.
