Answer: It is because of seeing a self that they do not attain the Way. The self is the 'I'. The consummate person, encountering suffering, does not grieve; encountering pleasure, does not rejoice. This is because of not seeing a self. The reason they do not perceive suffering and pleasure is that they have forgotten the self, thereby arriving at vacuity. When the self itself is already obliterated, what else is there that is not obliterated?
