二、「菩薩」下,顯能訶得,二:初、總釋。「故與盲等」者,荊溪云:借彼世盲譬無分別,見而無見、無見而見,故雖曰盲遍視法界。能如是觀,空有貧富常會一如。迦葉未然,故招訶折。然又應知盲非盡理,故從耳去但云如響不云如聾。

Second, from "Bodhisattva..." below, revealing the attainment of the one capable of reproaching, which has two [parts]: first, a general explanation. Regarding "hence being equal to the blind," Jingxi says: "Borrowing the metaphor of worldly blindness for non-discrimination: seeing and yet without seeing, without seeing and yet seeing; therefore, although called blind, one gazes universally throughout the dharmadhātu. Being able to contemplate in this way, emptiness and existence, poverty and wealth, are always unified in oneness. Kāśyapa was not yet so, and thus incurred reproach and breakdown. However, one should also know that blindness does not exhaust the principle; therefore, from the ear onward, it only says 'like an echo' and does not say 'like the deaf.'"
