Delusion is merely confusion

Delusion is merely confusion between subjectivity & objectivity.

Subjectivity can never be found; it is always that which is being objective & can only ever see objects: it can never see the subject: (which was never born & never dies).

Just as a camera can never photograph itself, the Citta/subject can never know itself: it can only know objects.

Hence the common preference, among translators, for the term "Mind Objects" for the forth Sattipathana "Dhamma contemplation of Dhammas".
