3.27

假乘四蛇者,約色明無我,四蛇譬四大也。無眼保養以為樂車者,此二句約情明無我。以凡夫無慧眼,保翫此身以為樂車,如似無目之象,但求食味、樂五陰之車也。不達無我,保養四大謂為有我,不知此身假合而有,似眾木成車,橫計輕苦謂之為樂,名為樂車。形者,四大也。神者,識神也。形神尚離,正明無我。豈有國耶者,舉類顯國空也。

“Provisionally riding four serpents” explains non-self with respect to rūpa; the four serpents are a metaphor for the caturmahābhūta. “Lacking eyes, one cherishes and nurtures it, taking it to be a chariot of pleasure”: these two lines explain non-self with respect to sentiment. Because ordinary beings lack the eye of wisdom, they cherish and play with this body, taking it to be a chariot of pleasure, just like a sightless elephant that only seeks the taste of food and delights in the chariot of the five skandhas. Not grasping non-self, they cherish and nurture the caturmahābhūta, declaring there to be a self; they do not realize this body exists by provisional combination, resembling multiple pieces of wood making up a chariot, and arbitrarily reckon slight suffering to be pleasure, calling it a “chariot of pleasure.” “Form” is the caturmahābhūta. “Spirit” is the conscious spirit. “Form and spirit even separate” directly explains non-self. “How could there be a kingdom” cites a comparable category to show that the kingdom is empty.
