6.126

贊曰：下答化法。有三：初標答以言、次別顯言相、後釋言所由。此初也。夫行化者皆為應宜，宜既難調，化須剛強。以言導利，初物可從；香味引之，彼便乖角。故以剛強之語，化彼難調之眾。

Commentary: The following answers with the method of conversion. It has three parts: first, declaring the answer in words; next, specifically revealing the characteristics of the words; after that, explaining the reason for the words. This is the first. Now, those who carry out conversion always act to suit what is appropriate. Since what is appropriate is difficult to subdue, the conversion must be unyielding. By guiding and benefiting them with words, initial beings can comply; if one were to attract them with fragrances and tastes, they would become contrary and stubborn. Therefore, he transforms that difficult-to-subdue assembly with harsh and unyielding words.
