3.15
[Kumāra]jīva says: When one attains their true nature, then being is non-being; when being is non-being, there is nothing severed and nothing possessed; therefore one can neither sever them nor be accompanied by them. [Seng]zhao says: Severing lust, anger, and delusion belongs to the śrāvaka. Being accompanied by lust, anger, and delusion belongs to the pṛthagjana. The mahāsattva contemplates lust, anger, and delusion as being none other than nirvāṇa, and therefore neither severs them nor is accompanied by them. If one can be like this, only then may one take the food. [Dao]sheng says: Subhūti is a person who has severed lust, anger, and delusion; tracing the root of his reliance on concentration, he certainly considers severance as not being accompanied [by them]; hence Vimalakīrti further proceeds to interrogate him. The intention of this interrogation makes it increasingly incisive. If one considers severance as not being accompanied, not only does one not have equal concentration, but one has not severed lust, anger, and delusion either.
