The manas not regarding the five aggregates as self and mine is the true eradication of the view of self.

The five aggregates are not self, not different from self, and do not exist in mutual inclusion. What does this mean? Since one is to contemplate the five aggregates in order to eradicate the view of self (satkāya-dṛṣṭi), whose view is to be eradicated in eradicating the view of self? Is it the view of the manas as "I," or the view of the eighth consciousness as "I"? What view does the eighth consciousness have? Does it have a view that takes the five aggregates as itself? The eighth consciousness is without the nature of a self; He has no view of self. It is the manas that takes the five aggregates as "I," and thus there is a view of self. Therefore, it is the manas's view of self that is to be eradicated — it is to make the manas eradicate the view of self. The result after eradicating the view of self is the realization that the five aggregates are without a self. What does this "I" refer to? It still refers to the false self, the manas; one cannot say that the five aggregates are without the eighth consciousness.

Since eradicating the view of self means making the manas eradicate its view of self, making the manas acknowledge that the five aggregates are not the self, changing the manas's views and perceptions that take the five aggregates as the self, then the final conclusion that the five aggregates are without a self must mean that the five aggregates are not the self of the manas, and that the manas should no longer take the five aggregates as the self.

The five aggregates are also not different from self; they are not possessed by the self of the manas. Both "self" and "what belongs to self" are not in accord with the Dharma; they are all wrong views (mithyā-dṛṣṭi) and must all be eradicated. Both self and what belongs to self are illusory appearances that arise and cease, impermanent and illusory; they are not real.

"Not existing in mutual inclusion" means that the five aggregates, the self, and what belongs to self do not exist within one another: the self is not within what belongs to self, and what belongs to self is not within the five aggregates. For the manas to take the five aggregates as the self or as what belongs to self is both mistaken; both are non-valid cognition. These views must all be eradicated — only then is it the true eradication of the view of self.
