In so doing, it became taken with the flavor, and cravingarose in it. Then other beings, taking their cue from that one, also tasted the stuff withtheir fingers. They too were taken with the flavor, and craving arose in them. So they setto with their hands, breaking off pieces of the stuff in order to eat it. And the result wasthat their self luminance disappeared. And as a result of the disappearance of their selfluminance the moon and the sun appeared, night and day were distinguished, months andfortnights appeared, and the year and its seasons. To that extent the world re-evolved.Evolution Cycle in Human Race‘And those beings continued for a very long time feasting on this savory earth, feeding onit and being nourished by it. And as they did so, their bodies became coarser, and adifference in looks developed among them. Some beings became good looking, othersugly. And the good looking ones despised the others, saying: "We are better looking thanthey are." And because they became arrogant and conceited about their looks, the savoryearth disappeared. At this they came together and lamented, crying, "Oh, that flavor! Oh,that flavor!" and so nowadays when people say, "Oh, that flavor!" when they getsomething nice, they are repeating an ancient saying without realizing it.The Human Food Chain‘And then, when the savory earth disappeared, a fungus cropped up, in the manner of amushroom. It was of good color, smell, and taste. It was the color of fine ghee or butter,and it was very sweet, like pure wild honey. And those beings set to and ate the fungus.And this lasted for a very long time. And as they continued to feed on the fungus, so theirbodies become coarser still, and the difference in their looks increased still more. And thegood looking ones despised the others…and because they became arrogant and conceitedabout their looks, the sweet fungus disappeared. Next, creepers appeared, shooting uplike bamboo…and they too were very sweet, like pure wild honey.‘And those beings set to and fed on those creepers. And as they did so, their bodiesbecame even coarser, and the difference in their looks increased still more…and theybecame still more arrogant, and so the creepers disappeared too. At this they cametogether and lamented, crying: "Alas, our creepers gone! What have we lost!" and so nowtoday when people, one being asked why they are upset, say: "Oh what have we lost!"they are repeating an ancient saying without realizing it.</blockquote>
