[459] At Sāvatthī. There … "Bhikkhus, when what exists, by clinging to what, by adhering to what, does such a view (diṭṭhi) arise as this: 'Winds do not blow, rivers do not flow, pregnant women do not give birth, the moon and sun neither rise nor set, but stand as steady as a pillar'?" "Venerable sir, our teachings are rooted in the Blessed One …" "Bhikkhus, when form exists, by clinging to form, by adhering to form, such a view arises as this: 'Winds do not blow … stand as steady as a pillar.' When feeling (vedanā) exists … when perception exists … when volitional formations exist … when consciousness exists, by clinging to consciousness, by adhering to consciousness, such a view arises as this: 'Winds do not blow … stand as steady as a pillar.'"
