From Abhinavagupta's Tantrasra:

I am a filthy sinner, I am a bound creature, I am separate from all other beings, or (even) I transcend all things*when such firm beliefs are innate stains on the heart, how indeed for such a one can (the vision of) supreme reality flash forth? // 4.2 // In the heart-lotus (of consciousness) that has blossomed due to an intense Descent of a ray of light from the sun of Supreme iva, the phases of awareness (emit) the exquisite fragrance of the Self, revealing its secret nature: //4. 3 // (there) the bee of Self-Awareness vibrates, cherishing (the experience of) its own radiant core, humming I am Lord iva, overflowing with the reality of all beings! // 4.4 //

This statement is delusional because of its implied dualism.
