答:《廣百論》云,一類外道復作是言:若我體性隨形量者,即應如身有分有變。又汝執我隨所依身,似水依堤,如油遂水,是則此我如彼水、油,既變既易,或非常、非一,引此為喻而言:我體為常、為一,與理相違;是故我體住於身內,形量極細,如一極微不可分析,體常無變,動慮、動身,能作、能受。

Answer: The Guang bai lun says: One group of non-Buddhists further makes this statement: 'If the substance of the self were to follow the shape and measure of the body, then it should have parts and changes like the body. Furthermore, you grasp that the self follows the body on which it relies, like water relying on a dike or oil following water; if so, this self would be like that water or oil, changing and altering, perhaps impermanent and not unified. Adducing this as a metaphor while claiming that the substance of the self is permanent and unified contradicts reason. Therefore, the substance of our self abides within the body, extremely fine in shape and measure, like a single subtle atom that cannot be divided, permanent in substance without change, mobilizing thoughts and moving the body, capable of acting and capable of experiencing.'
