[32] "And how, bhikkhus, is there agitation (paritassanā) through clinging (upādāna)? Here, bhikkhus, the uninstructed worldling (assutavā puthujjano), who is not a seer of the noble ones, unskilled in the Dhamma of the noble ones, undisciplined in the Dhamma of the noble ones, who is not a seer of superior persons (sappurisa), unskilled in the Dhamma of superior persons, undisciplined in the Dhamma of superior persons, regards form (rūpa) as self, or self as possessing form, or form as in self, or self as in form. That form of his changes and becomes otherwise. With the change and becoming otherwise of form, his consciousness (viññāṇa) becomes preoccupied with the change of form. Agitation and the arising of mental states born of preoccupation with the change of form remain obsessing his mind (citta). Because his mind is obsessed, he is frightened, distressed, and anxious, and through clinging he becomes agitated.
"He regards feeling (vedanā) as self, or self as possessing feeling, or feeling as in self, or self as in feeling. That feeling of his changes and becomes otherwise. With the change and becoming otherwise of feeling, his consciousness becomes preoccupied with the change of feeling. Agitation and the arising of mental states born of preoccupation with the change of feeling remain obsessing his mind. Because his mind is obsessed, he is frightened, distressed, and anxious, and through clinging he becomes agitated.
"He regards perception (saññā) as self … He regards volitional formations (saṅkhārā) as self, or self as possessing volitional formations, or volitional formations as in self, or self as in volitional formations. Those volitional formations of his change and become otherwise. With the change and becoming otherwise of volitional formations, his consciousness becomes preoccupied with the change of volitional formations. Agitation and the arising of mental states born of preoccupation with the change of volitional formations remain obsessing his mind. Because his mind is obsessed, he is frightened, distressed, and anxious, and through clinging he becomes agitated.
"He regards consciousness as self, or self as possessing consciousness, or consciousness as in self, or self as in consciousness. That consciousness of his changes and becomes otherwise. With the change and becoming otherwise of consciousness, his consciousness becomes preoccupied with the change of consciousness. Agitation and the arising of mental states born of preoccupation with the change of consciousness remain obsessing his mind. Because his mind is obsessed, he is frightened, distressed, and anxious, and through clinging he becomes agitated.
"It is in this way, bhikkhus, that there is agitation through clinging."
