4.44

真義之義離言說相,故云「微妙寂靜」。此理若顯,即是涅槃之果,未顯名因。若著言說不會實義,則與妄想和合,以成生死之因。然此真實之義必由聞慧而得。又言善於義者,非徒多聞而已,要在忘言得意,若隨語生見,何異外道?蓋善於義則自他不惑於外說,是為大德多聞。故學大乘者不可不親近大德,否則不善於義,墮於言說,故復戒勸。

The meaning of the real meaning is free from the mark of speech; hence it is said to be 'subtle and quiescent.' When this principle is manifested, it is the fruition of nirvāṇa; before it is manifested, it is called the cause. If one clings to speech and does not comprehend the real meaning, then it conjoins with vikalpa to become the cause of saṃsāra. Yet this real meaning must be attained through the wisdom gained from hearing. Furthermore, 'skilled in the meaning' means not merely wide learning, but essentially forgetting words to grasp the meaning. If one forms views by following words, how is that different from tīrthikas? Because one who is skilled in the meaning is not misled by external doctrines oneself nor leads others astray, such a person is a venerable one of wide learning. Therefore, those who study the Mahāyāna must draw near to venerable ones; otherwise, not being skilled in the meaning, they will fall into speech. Hence he admonishes and encourages once again.
