Ekottaragama (Sanskrit fragments) 13.4.15

13.4.15

舍利弗告長者曰：「於是，長者！凡夫之人不見聖人，不受聖教，不順其訓；亦不見善知識，不與善知識從事。彼計色為我，色是我所，我是色所；色中有我，我中有色，彼色、我色合會一處。彼色、我色以集一處，色便敗壞，遷移不停，於中復起愁憂、苦惱。痛、想、行、識，皆觀我有識，識中有我，我中有識，彼識、我識合會一處。彼識、我識以會一處，識便敗壞，遷移不停，於中復起愁憂、苦惱。如是，長者！身亦有患，心亦有患。」

Śāriputra told the wealthy man, “Here, wealthy man, there’s an ordinary person who doesn’t meet a noble person. They don’t receive the noble teaching or follow its instruction. They don’t meet good friends or accompany good friends. As a result of this, they imagine that form is self, that form belongs to self, that self belongs to form, that self is in form, or that form is in self. [They imagine that] other form and self form combine in one place, or that other form and self form collect in one place. Form then deteriorates, changes, and doesn’t remain. Sorrow, lamentation, pain, and trouble arise from that.

“Regarding feeling … conception … volition … consciousness, they observe that self possesses consciousness … that self is in consciousness, or that consciousness is in self. [They observe] that other consciousness and self consciousness combine in one place or that other consciousness and self consciousness collect in one place. Consciousness deteriorates, changes, and doesn’t remain. Sorrow, lamentation, pain, and trouble arise from that. In this way, wealthy man, the body has its troubles, and the mind is also troubled.”
