2.58

"Why is this? Because the four great elements combine, it is provisionally called a 'body.' The four great elements have no master, and the body is also devoid of self." Second, awakening to the provisional aggregation of effects, recognizing selflessness. The harmony of the four great elements is merely provisionally named 'body.' Since the four great elements have no master, whence could a self of the body arise? For example, a single grain of sand has no oil; a heap of sand is also [the same]. 'Master' and 'self' are merely different names for one thing.
