sn35.69:2.1 When he said this, Sāriputta said to him,
sn35.69:2.2 “But we don’t see any impairment in your body or deterioration of your faculties.
sn35.69:2.3 Yet you say:
sn35.69:2.4 ‘Come, reverends, lift this body onto a cot and carry it outside
sn35.69:2.5 before it’s scattered right here
sn35.69:2.6 like a handful of hay.’”
sn35.69:2.7 “Reverend Sāriputta, there may be an impairment in body or deterioration of faculties for someone who thinks:
sn35.69:2.8 ‘I am the eye’ or ‘the eye is mine.’
sn35.69:2.9 Or ‘I am the ear … nose … tongue … body …’
sn35.69:2.10 Or ‘I am the mind’ or ‘the mind is mine.’
sn35.69:2.12 But I don’t think like that.
sn35.69:2.16 So why would there be an impairment in my body or deterioration of my faculties?”
