2.13
The sūtra says: "Grasper and grasped." This refers to non-Buddhists who state: "Apart from the conscious mind within the body, there is another distinct grasper, which is the true self, capable of directing body, speech, and mind to perform all activities." Others state: "The grasper is merely the conscious mind, whereas the realm grasped by it is named the true self; this self is omnipresent." However, inner and outer body, feeling, mind, and phenomena all arise from conditions by nature, without intrinsic nature. Among these, grasp and grasped—even grasping itself cannot be found, let alone a self! It is also because of not observing the intrinsic nature of the self that they make such statements.
