[576] "And how, bhikkhu, does one vacillate (saṃhirati) regarding presently arisen dhammas? Here, an uninstructed worldling (assutavā puthujjano) — one who has no regard for the noble ones, unskilled in the Dhamma of the noble ones, undisciplined in the Dhamma of the noble ones; who has no regard for true persons (sappurisā), unskilled in the Dhamma of true persons, undisciplined in the Dhamma of true persons — regards form (rūpa) as self, or self as possessing form, or form as in self, or self as in form; regards feeling (vedanā) … perception (saññā) … volitional formations (saṅkhārā) … regards consciousness (viññāṇa) as self, or self as possessing consciousness, or consciousness as in self, or self as in consciousness. Thus indeed, bhikkhu, does one vacillate regarding presently arisen dhammas."
