14.56

The treatise states: "Feverish distress..."—sixth, the pairing of feverish distress versus cooling. The commentary states: "All afflictions..."—because the mind moves, it gives rise to afflictions such as greed and anger, and the afflictions burn fiercely, thus becoming feverish distress. "Therefore it says..." onward—because the mind does not move, it is identical with tathatā. Tathatā has no afflictions and is therefore not feverish distress; since there is no feverish distress, it is called "cooling."
