14. At Devadaha
Interior and Cause Are Not-Self
āMendicants, the eye is not-self. The cause and reason that gives rise to the eye is also not-self. Since the eye is produced by what is not-self, how could it be self?
The ear ⦠nose ⦠tongue ⦠body ⦠mind is not-self. The cause and reason that gives rise to the mind is also not-self. Since the mind is produced by what is not-self, how could it be self?
Seeing this ⦠They understand: ā⦠there is nothing further for this place.āā
