The first thing created in man was the sense of touch, and by it he perceives
certain classes of existents, such as heat and cold, moisture and dryness,
smoothness and roughness. Touch is completely unable to apprehend colors
and noises. These might be non-existent so far as concerns touch.
Next there is created in him the sense of sight, and by it he apprehends colors
and shapes. This is the most extensive of the worlds of sensible. Next hearing is
implanted in him, so that he hears sounds of various kinds. After that taste is
created in him; and so on until he has completed the world of sensible.
Next, when he is about seven years old, there is created in him discernment or
the power of distinguishing (tamyiz). This is a fresh stage in his development. He
now apprehends more than the world of sensible; and none of these additional
factors and relations exists in the world of sense.
