They are always without essence; they have the nature of an illusion. They are all pure—completely pure like space. {18} “ ‘They are neither blue, nor yellow, nor white. Those are just names, vacuous, with a nature that is just sound. They are devoid of mind; their nature is not mind. They are momentary and are devoid of sound. {19} “ ‘Words do not go anywhere if spoken. Words are not diminished if not spoken. Words do not go in any direction. Words do not come from anywhere.¹³³⁷ {20} “ ‘Words do not perish, cease, or end, Whether they are spoken or unspoken. Words are said to be always unceasing.
