This is the first. Now, what is called "seeing" does not mean seeing with the physical eye or inferential seeing with mental consciousness; it is only direct realization and seeing through uncontaminated \[wisdom\]. "Seeing" means what is directly attained by noble wisdom. Not without seeing "this"—"this" is the pariniṣpanna. Yet one is able to see "that"—"that" is the other-dependent. Thus the single word "see" extends in meaning to both natures; it is a skillful, implicit phrasing, which is why the verse simply says "not without seeing this and that." Only when one reaches the ultimate truth can one understand the other-dependent; how could one say that the other-dependent is the domain of ordinary beings? Although it appears in the mind, it is not understood; it is merely what is directly grasped. If we speak of thorough understanding, it belongs solely to noble ones, not to ordinary beings. If we speak of serving directly as a cognitive object, ordinary beings also attain it; therefore, the explanations in those \[passages\] do not contradict each other. Just as in the world someone directly sees an object but cannot recognize it, the ordinary domain is also like this. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.9.168) - [Next: 9.170](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.9.170) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830~en-mt.9.169) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.9.169](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.9.169) · Pramāṇa
