2.4

Question: This wisdom can reveal the real; thus the sūtra explains it as an illuminating cause (kāraka-hetu). 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.
