345-348. The Knowers of the principles say--From the practical point of view the non-self substance is mine. But they know, that from the real stand point, even an atom in this world is not mine. As a man may say “the village, country, town, kingdom is mine." But they are not his (really) and the soul says so in delusion. Similarly the knower who thinking that the non-self is his, makes it his own undoubtedly becomes a wrong. believer. Therefore thus knowing (that the non-self) is not mine, the belief of both these (the people and the Jain ascetics) that the soul creates the non-self substance should be known to be of those devoid of right-belief.
