Lal:

‘ -need to be rooted out
– breaking the asmi mana spell
-(in one’s mind)
– By being ever mindful
– one should train
– to attain Arahantship
– This is the ultimate goal
– this asmi mana is the “perception of a self”.
– when one is striving to be a Sotapanna or even an Anagami.’

Who is it who needs to do this rooting out, who breaks the spell,whose mind,who is being ever mindful,who should train (in this way).who attains Arhantship,whose goal, who perceives, who is striving ??

Is there not a being who is behind and besides all these?

If this cannot be answered or should not be answered because it should not be asked, please say so. I will just put it aside.
