[137] "And what, Rāhula, is the fire element (tejodhātu)? The fire element may be internal or it may be external. And what, Rāhula, is the internal fire element? Whatever internally, belonging to oneself, is fire, is fiery, and is clung to — that is: that by which one is warmed, that by which one is aged, that by which one is consumed with fever, and that by which what is eaten, drunk, chewed, and tasted comes to full digestion — or whatever else internally, belonging to oneself, is fire, is fiery, and is clung to: this, Rāhula, is called the internal fire element. Now both the internal fire element and the external fire element are simply the fire element (dhātu). That should be seen as it really is with right wisdom thus: 'This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self.' Having seen it thus as it really is with right wisdom, one becomes disenchanted with the fire element and detaches the mind from the fire element."
