This is another way of saying, “Receive.” If it shows up in your mind stream, take it in. Allow things to come toward you. You don’t necessarily have to produce some kind of activity or go out toward something. Whatever shows up, whether in thought patterns or relationships, needs to occur. This is another way of talking about dependent origination or pratitya samutpada. To just fundamentally eat what’s served will completely fulfill your buddha activity while starving that other aspect of the mind that craves otherness and control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSIAoXaVP6M
