1.252

If the Tathāgata were to say, "I am the one capable of delivering, and sentient beings are those to be delivered," this would be attachment to the four marks. By being free from the four marks, there is delivery without delivering, and delivering without delivery; thus, when the Tathāgata speaks of the existence of a self, it is the true self; and "then there is no existence of a self" means it is not a false self. But the self of ordinary persons is self-grasping. As for "not an ordinary person," the treatise says: "'Not born' means not giving birth to the dharmas of noble persons; that is, the childish ordinary person."
