EXISTENCE OF THE SOUL
:
P. 190. Then make thyself an island of defence: Strive quick be wise: when all thy taints Of dirt and dust are blown away, the Saints Shall greet thee entering the Happy Land. (Dhammapada vv 236).
P. 300. Rouse thou the self by self, by self examine
self:
Thus guarded by the self, and with thy mind Intent and watchful, thus, O mendicant, Thou shalt live happily.

(Dhammapada vv 378). The Jain Saint says the same thing in Samayasâra : gafazat for eigar aft foranafe |
पण होहि तित्तो तो होहदि उत्तमं सोक्खं ॥ २२२ ॥ Edamhi rado nichcham santuṭṭho hohi nichchamêdamhi, Edéna hohi titto tô hohadi uttamam sôkkham. 222. Always be absorbed in this (soul); always be contented in it, be satisfied with it; then you will have the highest bliss."
The doctrine of the Buddha by George Grimm 1926. P. 119. "Which is of greater importance, O youths, to search for this woman or to search for your 'I'?" (Mahavagga I. 14).

P. 120-124. 'It must, from the outset, inspire us with confidence in the Buddha that he prefers the safer indirect way. 'This belongs not to me;' This am I not;' 'This is not myself.' The Buddha has drawn this dividing line between attâ and anattâ, between "I" and not I" with great exactness."
