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