43.22
疏「實則愚夫自誑」者,如獼猴執月,月豈有心誑獼猴耶?愚夫執虛為實,明是自誑。經云「誑愚夫」者,是愚夫不了之境義似誑耳。
Regarding the Commentary's statement, "In reality, foolish persons deceive themselves": It is like a monkey grasping at the moon; could the moon have the intention to deceive the monkey? The foolish person grasps the unreal as real, which clearly is self-deception. When the sūtra says "deceives foolish persons," it means that the objects that foolish persons fail to understand appear, in their sense, like deception.
