Subhuti, does it occur to you that I believe that through me living beings are led to liberation? Never think that way, Subhuti.

Why? Because there is no separate being to lead to liberation. If I were to think their way, I would be caught in the notion of a self or a person or a lifespan.

Subhuti, what I call a self is essentially not a self in the way that an ordinary person thinks of it. But neither do I think of anyone as an ordinary person. However, knowing the essence, I can use the name ordinary person.
