1.149

是以梵志出家白首而歸,隣人見之曰:「昔人尚存乎?」梵志曰:「吾猶昔人,非昔人也。」隣人皆愕然,非其言也。

"Therefore, when a brahmacārin left home and returned with white hair, a neighbor saw him and asked: 'Is the person of the past still alive?' The brahmacārin replied: 'I resemble the person of the past, but am not the person of the past.' The neighbors were all astonished and rejected his words."
