[TRUE STONE] STAGE VI (ULTIMATE REALITY): The bowl—a geometric proxy for the 'Circle of Light'—represents the Final Material Anchor. As the routine of eating reaches the absolute recognition of 'enough', the spoon is set down—a final release of the instrument of seeking. This act collapses the tension of the object-subject divide; the soup and the eater are revealed as the same unconditioned presence. In this stillness, the remaining liquid begins to disappear bit by bit. There is no physical consumption; the matter simply evaporates from reality. Because there is no 'you' left to be hungry for a result, the object (the soup) follows 'you' into non-existence, leaving only the crystalline, traceless clarity of the Source.
