I found that during sati arising, the mind follows :-
"In reference to the seen, there will be only the seen. In reference to the heard, only the heard. In reference to the sensed, only the sensed. In reference to the cognized, only the cognized"
I heard the story of the past life of Phra Bahiya at the time of Gassapa Buddha but I can not find the reference in English. The story told that he was a bhikku going to do meditation with 6 bhikku's friends on the mountain and destroy the stair for claim up to the mountain and could not claim down. There was a bhikku could be arahun. Another one could anagami. But another 5 bhikku could not to be any stream enterer and dead in 7 days.
The devata who the sutta refer to (Then a devata who had once been a blood relative of Bahiya) was the past life bhikku who was anagami.
