Buddha teaches us to have the divine eye and ear means the eye and ear that are able to see and hear what appears out of not-knowing i.e. greed, hatred & delusion that core up at the senses, it doesn't mean seeing or hearing something else. These 3 defilements are comparable to bandits or satan that come to snatch the throne or seat of awareness, concentration and wisdom away, so that one is deprived of cleanliness, brightness and peace. We should find and keep this kind of divine eye and ear because it is the divine eye and ear that will lead us to Nibbana. Life will be without suffering.
Even at the moment that you hear me talking, may you be filled with virtue and Dhamma. Know like; know dislike. Know boredom, know annoyance, whatever the mind thinks: know and see it!
In order to have this type of divine eye and ear we have to train in awareness, train in concentration, we must have awareness and concentration every moment. In other words, whatever the mind thinks: know it and see it!
That the Buddha teaches to solve the problem in the present means at the moment of contact. He teaches to have awareness, concentration and wisdom to know and see the objects that arise in the mind. So awareness, concentration and wisdom must be ready every moment not to make way for satan. Whoever has awareness, concentration and wisdom to conquer suffering like this, even a little bit, is considered to have the divine eye and ear, to some extent, because one is able to see heaven in one's heart and hell in one's mind already.(Normality: Luangpor Teeana)
