30.73

On the Śāstra's: "If it is said that there is definitely ... far removed from liberation": The author of the Śāstra objects. If it is said that there definitely exists a real self, this self would be subtle, and when the Buddha's wisdom, which is supreme, contemplates this self, it would see it most clearly. Having seen the self, a view of self would then arise, leading up to being bound by attachment to the self; this would slander the Buddha and be far removed from liberation. In the text, he first points out the fault, next cites scripture, and finally concludes.
