The Discourse on "This Is Mine"
207.
At Sāvatthī.
"When what exists, monks, clinging to what, having clung to what, does such a view arise:
'This is mine, this I am, this is my self'?"
"The teachings have the Blessed One as their root, venerable sir, etc.
"When matter exists, monks, clinging to matter, having clung to matter, such a view arises:
'This is mine, this I am, this is my self.'
When feeling exists, etc.
when perception exists...
when activities exist...
when consciousness exists, clinging to consciousness, having clung to consciousness, such a view arises:
'This is mine, this I am, this is my self.'"
"What do you think, monks, is materiality permanent or impermanent?" "Impermanent, venerable sir." Etc. "feeling... perception... activities... consciousness permanent or impermanent?" "Impermanent, venerable sir." Etc. would such a view arise by non-clinging to that: 'This is mine, this I am, this is my self'?" "No, Venerable Sir." "Whatever is seen, heard, sensed, cognised, attained, sought after, pondered over by the mind, is that too permanent or impermanent?" "Impermanent, venerable sir." "But what is impermanent, is that suffering or happiness?" "Suffering, venerable sir." "But what is impermanent, suffering, subject to change, would such a view arise by non-clinging to that: 'This is mine, this I am, this is my self'?" "No, Venerable Sir."
"When, monks, for a noble disciple uncertainty regarding these states has been abandoned, and his uncertainty regarding suffering has been abandoned, etc. and his uncertainty regarding the practice leading to the cessation of suffering has been abandoned - this is called, monks, a noble disciple who is a stream-enterer, no longer subject to fall into lower realms, fixed in destiny, heading for the highest enlightenment."
