N: Is this not: niyyati? Passive of nayati: the world is guided by
citta. This makes more sense. Kusala citta and akusala citta
determine what the world is like.

> A:b) the four kinds of matter or materiality

-------
N: Ruupas of the body are produced by kamma, by citta, by temperature
of by nutrition.
Kamma produces the senses, heartbase and sex. By citta: this is
obvious when we frown or smile, speak or gesticulate.
By nutrition: good and bad food affects the body.
By temperature: obvious when you get sunburned, when your hands freeze.
The rupas that are not of the body are produced only by the element
of heat.
Nina.
