The nose is aflame. The tongue is aflame. The body is aflame. The intellect is aflame. Ideas are aflame.
Mental consciousness is aflame.
Mental contact is aflame. And whatever there is that arises in dependence on mental contact, experienced as pleasure, pain or neither pleasure nor pain, that too is aflame. Aflame with the fire of passion, the fire of aversion, the fire of delusion. They, the highest men, put out the fire of aversion with good will, And the fire of delusion with the discernment leading to penetration. Dispassioned their minds toward future becoming, they, with no seed, no desire for growth, the wise, they go out like this flame.
