[315] How does one regard form as in self?
Here someone regards feeling (vedanā), perception, volitional formations, and consciousness as self. He thinks thus: 'This indeed is my self; and in this self there is this form.' Thus he regards form as in self. Suppose there were a flower endowed with fragrance, and a man were to say of it thus: 'This is the flower, this is the fragrance; the flower is one thing, the fragrance another; yet this fragrance is in this flower' — thus he regards the fragrance as in the flower. In the same way, here someone regards feeling, perception, volitional formations, and consciousness as self. He thinks thus: 'This indeed is my self; and in this self there is this form.' Thus he regards form as in self. The view is the misapprehension through adherence (abhinivesaparāmāsa); the view is not the basis, the basis is not the view … This is the third view of self (attānudiṭṭhi) with form as its basis. The view of self is wrong view, a failure in view … These are fetters, but not views. Thus one regards form as in self.
