**16.** Attributing only the karmic defilements to the self, those with corrupted knowledge wander in the ocean of samsara.
**17.** Just as a foolish person perceives the difference arising from the difference in the object as a difference in the crystal, so too does he perceive the karmic difference as being in the self.
**18.** There is no behavior arising from karmic objects for a being without karma (the self). Therefore, those who speak contrary to the self have omitted the words of the scriptures.
**19.** Just like the Dharma-stikaya, the self, though residing in one field, does not become associated with karmic qualities, because of its inherent nature of being non-material.
