第四一偈舉難結默者,若準上義,以二事說、以二事聞,則可說可聞。但是難見,如何不說?故有此偈。意云:說聞本在證見,難見說之何益?況復加以難信,故我默然。初句所證見法;次句難證,難中之難故云最勝;次句難信,非地前證信,故曰世間。上三句舉難,後一句結默。

Fourth, regarding the one verse adducing the difficulty to conclude with remaining silent: if, based on the above meaning, one preaches by means of two matters and hears by means of two matters, then it can be preached and heard. It is merely difficult to see; why then does he not preach? Therefore, there is this verse. Its meaning says: preaching and hearing are fundamentally for the sake of realizing and seeing; if it is difficult to see, what benefit is there in preaching it? What is more, it is compounded by being difficult to believe, and therefore I remain silent.

The first line is the Dharma that is realized and seen.
The next line is the difficulty of realization: being the most difficult among difficulties, it says "supreme".
The next line is the difficulty of belief: not being the realization and faith prior to the stages, it says "the world".
The above three lines adduce the difficulties, and the final line concludes with remaining silent.
