5.48

"Because it does not rely, etc.": concluding on 'having no entity.' This also re-clarifies the reason. Because it does not abide by relying on the conditioned conditions of the five aggregates, and solely suchness (tathatā) and the wisdom of suchness uniquely endure, there is a true self. One should know that ordinary beings all abide by relying on the conditioned conditions of the five aggregates; if the five aggregates are already provisional, how much more so the self they imagine! Conditioned dharmas are not oneself, hence it is said to 'rely on the other.'"
