大乘起信論別記 1.26

1.26

言「依言說分別有二種義」，謂「如實空」「如實不空」。然後文亦說「一切分別皆不相應」，當知一切言說亦不相應，此即顯理，離言絕慮。又初文中，要依「因言遣言」之言，乃得顯其理之絕言，此亦顯理不離言說相。

The statement "depending on verbal discrimination, there are two meanings" refers to "truly empty" and "truly not empty." Yet the second passage also states that "all discriminations do not correspond"; one should know that all verbal explanations also do not correspond. This then shows that principle transcends speech and cuts off thought. Furthermore, in the first passage, only by relying on the words that "discard words by relying on words" can it reveal that its principle transcends words; this also shows that principle is not separate from the characteristics of speech.
