MN I, 218 (Sāriputta said):
The monk who brings Citta under his control, not him under the control of Citta, could live
switching whatever attainments of dwelling he wishes to live, for example, in the morning
one attainment, at noon another, and in the evening another, just as a king changes his clothes
as he wishes: in the morning one dress, in the evening another, at night another.
"What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind."
Life is the co-existence of mind and matter. Decay is the lack of co-ordination of mind and
matter. Death is the separation of mind and matter. Rebirth is the recombination of mind and
matter. After the passing away of the physical body (matter), the mental forces (mind)
recombine and assume a new combination in a different material form and condition another
existence.
The relation of mind to matter is like the relation of a battery to an engine of a motor car. The
battery helps to start the engine. The engine helps to charge the battery. The combination helps
to run the motor car. In the same manner, matter helps the mind to function and the mind
helps to set matter in motion
