270. “Bhikkhus, it is simply impossible for someone who has finally attained to Right View, to ever look upon anything and see it as having a substantial essence or selfhood. There is absolutely no possibility for this to occur.

“However, it is quite possible that an ordinary unlearned person should look upon things and see them as truly having a substantial essence or selfhood. There is the possibility for this to occur.”
