When one realizes complete and luminous awakening, only then does one know that afflictions are originally non-existent, and one sees that the effort of wisdom capable of severing them is also false and illusory. It is like using medicine to treat an illness in a dream and being cured: upon awakening, both medicine and illness are non-existent; hence it is called 'illusory effort.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.224](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2.224) - [Next: 2.226](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2.226) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795~en-mt.2.225) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2.225](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2.225) · Pramāṇa
