In refuting the fourth position: regarding "it should be devoid of defilement", Fascicle 65 states: if there were no aggregates, there would be no form associated with the body, nor would there be conceptual mind associated with experiencing objects. Since it lacks these five, the self should be liberated without effort, devoid of defilement. Furthermore, the self and the body should not belong to each other. The syllogism is: "The self should be devoid of defilement, being spontaneously liberated. Furthermore, one should not say 'my self has form' and so forth; because it is posited to be different from the aggregates and not to be an aggregate; like space and so forth." Although they posit that the real self does not belong to the aggregates, they still say "my self has form" and so forth, which is why this objection is made. Otherwise, there would be the fallacy of proving what is already established (siddhasādhana). "Should not belong to each other" means that the self possesses form and so forth, not that it is subsumed under them. The fourth part, the objection regarding positing existence upon those [aggregates], has two sections: first, two inquiries; second, explaining the inquiries individually. The first also has two: first, setting forth the two categories; second, explaining them individually. This objection, within the deliberate cognition of a self, directly addresses knowing and seeing that the self exists. Explaining the second category is further divided into two: first, setting forth the two categories; second, explaining them individually. The two categories are: 1. the karmic actions accomplished; 2. the instruments grasped as belonging to a self.
