涅槃經遊意 1.242

1.242

第一、開善明知照真，即與冥一，無復境智異。所以爾者，智體既妙，湛然常寂，與境不殊，但約德而辨自有三句：一凡夫不冥不會，二因中聖人會而不冥，三者佛果亦冥亦會也。

First, Kaishan explains that when cognition illuminates the ultimate, it immediately merges into oneness with it, and there is no longer any distinction between object and cognition. Why is this? Since the essence of cognition is subtle, clear, and ever quiescent, it is not distinct from the object. However, distinguishing in terms of virtue, there are naturally three propositions: first, ordinary persons neither merge nor converge; second, noble ones in the causal stage converge but do not merge; third, in the Buddha-fruit there is both merging and converging.
