''The whole world is consumed by fire, the whole world trembles."
"All is in flames. And what is the all that is in flames ? The eye is burning, what is visible is burning, consciousness of the visible is burning, contact of the eye with what is visible is burning, the feeling—be it pleasure or pain, or neither pain nor pleasure —which arises from the contact with what is visible is burning, And with what is it burning ? With the fire of desire, with the fire of aversion, with the fire of delusion''
— excerpt from fire sermon(Ādittapariyāya Sutta) given by Siddhartha Gautama several months after his enlightenment,on top of the Gayasisa Hill, near Gaya, India.
