20 to 22. “I am other substance, animate, inanimate, or mixed; it is myself; I am its and it is mine; it was mine in past time and I was its; even again it shall be mine and I shall be its." Such erroneous notions about the Self (as identifying it with alien objects such as body, etc. (only the deluded one) bahir ātmā entertains. But one who knows the real nature of the Self, non-deluded ( antar-ātmā ) never entertains (such erroneous notions about the Self).
