Inherently existent self,
independent self,
truly existent self,
substantially existent self,
self existing from its own side,
objectively existing self,
naturally existing self, and
self existing by way of its own nature
are all synonyms.
None of them exists, and they are all the negated object of subtle selflessness.
We grasp at such a self all the time, even when asleep.
All living beings, even tiny ants, have this mind continuously.
However, without relying upon qualified instructions it is impossible to recognize this mind, or to identify its conceived object correctly.
