[331] How does one regard consciousness in self? Here someone regards form, feeling (vedanā), perception, and volitional formations as self. It occurs to him thus: "This indeed is my self; and in this self there is this consciousness (viññāṇa)"—thus he regards consciousness in 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 as being in the flower. In the same way, here someone regards form, feeling, perception, and volitional formations as self. It occurs to him thus: "This indeed is my self; and in this self there is this consciousness"—thus he regards consciousness in self. The misapprehension through adherence (abhinivesaparāmāsa) is a 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—this is the third view of self (attānudiṭṭhi) having consciousness as its basis. View of self is wrong view … These are fetters, but not views. Thus does one regard consciousness in self.
