Even the sense of touch, which is the most powerful of the senses – as it distinguishes hot from cold and the solid from the liquid – all these are merely manifestations of activities taking place within the essence of the entity. They are merely incidents of the essence of the entity. For the hot can be chilled, the cold can be heated, the solid can be transformed into liquid through chemical processes, and the liquid into air, i.e., mere vapor, at which point it entirely escapes any discernment with our five senses.
And yet the essence still exists within it, since the air can be turned into liquid once again, and the liquid into solid. It should now be clear to your own eyes that the five senses cannot reveal to us any essence whatsoever, but only incidents and manifestations of activities taking place within the essence of the entity.
