7.211

示亡情等者。歎後二喻。若觀世間諸法如電露等，自不繫情於身命財而生常解。又由前四喻故慧解亡情，由後二喻故習定亡情。又前亡執有之情，後亡計常之情。若不覺空無常，即繫情於身命資具。今既悟此空無常理，則情念沮壞、真智現前。斯則上合經宗故云妙，下契物情故云巧也。

"Showing the abandonment of emotional clinging," etc., praises the latter two analogies. If one contemplates worldly phenomena as like lightning and dew, one will naturally not tie one's emotions to body, life, and wealth, conceiving notions of permanence. Furthermore, due to the first four analogies, emotional clinging is abandoned through wisdom; due to the latter two analogies, emotional clinging is abandoned through cultivating meditative concentration. In addition, the former eliminates the clinging to existence, while the latter eliminates the clinging to permanence. If one does not realize emptiness and impermanence, one attaches emotionally to body, life, and material resources. Now, having awakened to this principle of emptiness and impermanence, emotional thoughts are broken down and true wisdom appears before one. This conforms above to the sūtra's tenet and is therefore called "wonderfully," and accords below with the capacities of beings and is therefore called "skillfully."
