'Therefore whatever form, feeling, perception, formative
tendencies, consciousness which have been, will be and is now
connected with oneself, or with others, gross or subtle, inferior
or superior, far or near; all forms, feelings, perceptions,
formative tendencies and consciousness should be considered by
right knowledge in this way: 'This is not mine; this not I; this is
not my soul.' Having seen thus, a noble, learned disciple becomes
disenchanted with the form, feeling, perception, formative
tendencies and consciousness. Becoming disenchanted, he controls
his passion and subsequently discards them.'
'Being free from passion he becomes emancipated and insight arises
in him: 'I am emancipated.' He realizes: 'Birth is destroyed, I
have lived the holy life and done what had to be done. There is no
more birth for me.'
'What do you think, Anuradha, do you regard the form as a
Tathagata?'
'No, Sir.'
'O Anuradha, what is your view, do you see a Tathagata in the
form?'
'No, Sir.'
'Do you see a Tathagata apart from form?'
'No, Sir.'
'Do you see a Tathagata in feeling, perception, formative
tendencies, consciousness?'
'No, Sir.'
'O Anuradha, what do you think, do you regard that which is without
form, feeling, perception, formative tendencies and consciousness
as a Tathagata?'
'No, Sir.'
