6.38

Second, clarifying the two truths of sentiment and wisdom: regarding the various two truths clarified above, when heard and not yet awakened to by those conforming to the sentiments of the worldly, individual, and therapeutic [siddhāntas], all are subsumed under the conventional truth; if the variously explained two truths are heard by people oriented toward the path and they awaken upon hearing them, giving rise to the eye of true wisdom and seeing the paramārtha, this is precisely the ultimate truth conforming to wisdom. Thus when sentiment and wisdom are discerned together, there is the distinction of the two truths. Therefore the Nirvāṇa Sūtra says: 'What is seen by the minds of worldly people is called the conventional truth; what is seen by the minds of transworldly people is called the supreme truth.'
