Un fragmento de The Perennial Philosophy (Huxley, 1944)

Todavía la nieve me parece bonita

The mind is on fire, thoughts are on fire. Mind-conscious-

ness and the impressions received by the mind, and the

sensations that arise from the impressions that the mind

receives--these too are on fire.

  And with what are they on fire? With the fire of greed,

with the fire of resentment, with the fire of infatuation; 

with birth, old age and death, with sorrow and lamenta-

tion, with misery and grief and despair they are on fire.

                                        From the Buddha's Fire Sermon
