Why is it now spoken of as an obstruction to wisdom? \[Answer:\] Although it conforms to the real, it is nonetheless called an obstruction. Just like medicine curing a disease: if the medicine is not cleared away, the medicine again becomes an affliction. This is also like that. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1843.2.3) - [Next: 2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1843.2.5) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1843.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1843~en-mt.2.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1843.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1843.2.4) · Pramāṇa
