We grasp at an inherently existent I in everything that we do.
For example, if we go shopping we do not think 'My body wants this', or 'My mind wants this'; we think only 'I want this’.
We grasp at an I that is independent of our body, our mind, or any other phenomenon.
At that time we are conceiving an inherently existent I within the collection of our own aggregates.
The mind that conceives this I is the view of the transitory collection.
We have to watch our mind closely over a long period before we can identify clearly how this inherently existent I appears to our mind.
We also have to rely upon correct instructions on the view of the transitory collection, and study authentic texts on the middle way.
