('â', They speak to me.â Skillful, knowing harmonious gnosis with regard to the world, he uses expressions just as expressions." Note 1. This question confuses the conceit, "I am" (asmimṅna) with the simple concept, "I." The former is a fetter, in that it involves one in a tangle of views as to what the "I" is, and what it means to be. (See MNÂ 2.) The latter, as this verse shows, is simply a conventional expression, and if it can be separated from the conceit "I am," it need not fetter the mind.
