8.218

什曰:若修善持戒得利養時,當自念言:彼供養功德,非為我也。假令有我,彼不見為。理既無我,高竟無主。如是思惟則高心自滅也。

[Kumāra]jīva says: When cultivating goodness and upholding precepts brings material gain, one should reflect: 'The merit of their offerings is not for me. Even if there were a self, they do not see it as such. Since in principle there is no self, arrogance ultimately has no subject.' Contemplating thus, the arrogant mind naturally dissolves.
