6.213

第二非倒不倒難也。言亦不得說彼愚夫,為顛倒不顛倒也。何以故非倒不倒?謂凡聖既各別,愚夫不見聖人離於有無真實法故,若甞見聖人所見法,又行世俗妄想事,可言顛倒。以本不真實故,不得言倒非倒也。

This is the second objection, on being neither inverted nor uninverted. It means that one cannot say whether those foolish people are inverted or uninverted. Why are they neither inverted nor uninverted? Because ordinary beings and noble ones are distinct, and fools do not see the real phenomena of the noble ones that are free from existence and non-existence. If they had once seen the phenomena seen by the noble ones and then engaged in conventional parikalpa affairs, they could be called inverted. Since they have never seen the real from the beginning, one cannot say they are inverted or not inverted.
