They’d compare it with their own body:
10.5
‘This body is also of that same nature, that same kind, and cannot go beyond that.’
10.6

10.7
With respect to the body, they meditate observing the liability to originate, to vanish, and to originate and vanish.
10.8
Or mindfulness is established that the body exists, to the extent necessary for knowledge and mindfulness. They meditate independent, not grasping at anything in the world.
10.9
That too is how a mendicant meditates by observing an aspect of the body.
