就算道理同意了,心裡的「我」消失了嗎?
先不管你是否同意前面的道理。現在,讀著這一行的時候,你心裡那個「我」呢?
現在,你心裡那個「我」:
答案:沒消失,很正常。差摩比丘早就看清五蘊裡沒有一個是我,可是「我在」的感覺還留著,像一塊洗乾淨的布,還有洗劑的味道。接下來,我們去抓那個味道。
關鍵:它不會讓你一眼看到,所以我們用實驗。

Suppose there was a cloth that was dirty and soiled … Although that cloth is clean and bright, it still has a lingering scent of salt, lye, or cow dung that had not been eradicated. The launderer returns it to its owners, who store it in a fragrant casket. And that lingering scent would be eradicated. In the same way, although a noble disciple has given up the five lower fetters, they still have a lingering residue of the conceit ‘I am’ … After some time they meditate observing rise and fall in the five grasping aggregates. … As they do so, that lingering residue is eradicated.
一塊髒布交給洗衣人,用鹽、鹼、牛糞搓洗,再用清水漂過;布乾淨了,還留著洗劑的味道。主人把它收進香盒,味道才散。同樣,聖弟子已斷五下分結,仍殘留「我在」的慢、欲與隨眠;之後在五取蘊上觀生滅,殘留才斷除。
白話布洗乾淨了,還有洗劑的味道;看清了沒有我,「我在」的感覺還會留一陣子。
