v1.c7.209

Everything is burning: the eye, the eye-consciousness (*cakkhuviññāṇa*), and the contact of the eye with objects (*cakkhu-samphassa*), and the sensations that arise therefrom. It is the same with the other senses: they are aflame with lust, anger, ignorance and the anxieties of birth, decay, death, etc.; knowing this, the follower of the Noble Eightfold Path feels revulsion towards them and divests himself of passion for them and ultimately attains supreme freedom.
