There can be no 鈥榮elf-cognition鈥� of the cognition, in the sense that it is the action and also the active agent; because one and the same entity, which is impartite in form, cannot have three characters. Hence the only right view is that the 鈥榮elf-cognition鈥� of the cognition is due to its being of the very nature of consciousness. Under the circumstances, how can there be any cognition of any other thing in the shape of the 鈥榦bject鈥�?鈥�(2001-2002)
