### [7.565](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.7.565)

述曰：無實作用，諸法皆爾，無有作用及作者故，心緣於境，非如手、鉗親執離身之外物，亦非如日、月、火、光，舒光親照體外之物，心等緣時，但如汝宗鏡等照物，似外境現，名「了他心」。他心之影於自心上現，名「了他心」；非心親能了他心也。親所了者，謂自所變之相分，以無作用，及實不能取外境故。

> The Commentary states: It has no real active functioning; all dharmas are like this, because there is no active functioning and no agent. When mind conditions an object, it is not like a hand or tongs directly grasping an external object separate from the body, nor is it like the light of the sun, moon, or fire extending its rays to directly illuminate an object outside its substance. When the mind and the like condition, it is only like a mirror and the like in your school illuminating an object: appearing to resemble an external object is called "knowing another's mind." An image of another's mind appearing upon one's own mind is called "knowing another's mind"; it is not that the mind is directly able to know another's mind. That which is directly known refers to one's own transformed nimittabhāga, because there is no active functioning and it cannot genuinely apprehend an external object.
