The questioner further says: "Knowledge and vision are precisely the knowledge of exhaustion and the knowledge of non-arising; moreover, the knowledge of exhaustion and the knowledge of non-arising are simply knowledge and vision. Why avoid the names of exhaustion and non-arising and speak of knowledge and vision?" The interpreter further says: "Now, the names 'knowledge and vision' are identical, but the senses of 'knowledge and vision' are different. When completing the non-learner state, one is endowed with the two knowledges of exhaustion and non-arising, which have two meanings fully stated as before. What the questioner discusses is that, after becoming a non-learner, in order to broadly cultivate knowledge and vision to obtain this knowledge and vision, one must sever habit energies to obtain it; hence the knowledge has an efficacious function. How could it be identical with the knowledge of exhaustion and the knowledge of non-arising?"
