The contacts of the senses with sound etc., produce cold, heat, soft, hard, etc., experiences, and cause pleasures and pains[4. The sense-contacts with external phenomena is sensations which are the sense-with-mind-contacts, ‘cold-heat’, etc., and then follow the reactions, pleasures and pains.].<\/span><\/p>\n The expression \u201ccold and heat\u201d[5.

Bear them up with courage till thou carriest out thy \u015a\u0101stra-enjoined war etc., to completion. As these experiences accrue and depart, they are but fit to be tolerated (i.e., disregarded) by men of courage.<\/span><\/p>\n Also they are un-enduring (anitya<\/em>), meaning that him, – whose karma (i.e., the fruit of deeds done) has ceased, (as in the case of the mukta<\/em>, or the freed soul), – the \u2018cold-heat\u2019[6. The sense-contacts with external phenomena is sensations which are the sense-with-mind-contacts, ‘cold-heat’, etc., and then follow the reactions, pleasures and pains.] adventitious experiences can never disturb (or distract).<\/span><\/p>\n Is this passive or dull disposition to \u2018cold-heats\u2019 any use?
