[7] "Bhikkhus, the eye is impermanent, both past and future — what need, then, is there to speak of the present? Seeing thus, bhikkhus, the instructed noble disciple is without concern for the past eye, does not delight in the future eye, and is practising for disenchantment with, for dispassion towards, and for the cessation (nirodha) of the present eye. The ear is impermanent. The nose is impermanent. The tongue is impermanent, both past and future — what need, then, is there to speak of the present? Seeing thus, bhikkhus, the instructed noble disciple is without concern for the past tongue, does not delight in the future tongue, and is practising for disenchantment with, for dispassion towards, and for the cessation of the present tongue. The body is impermanent … The mind (mano) is impermanent, both past and future — what need, then, is there to speak of the present? Seeing thus, bhikkhus, the instructed noble disciple is without concern for the past mind, does not delight in the future mind, and is practising for disenchantment with, for dispassion towards, and for the cessation of the present mind."
