14.34

Regarding whether the defiled and pure are exhaustible or inexhaustible: It was explained above that defilement and purity each possess functions, mutually perfuming one another to bring about the mundane and supramundane; yet it is not known which is ultimately superior and which inferior, or which dharma has an end and which dharma has no end. If both were inexhaustible, advancing in cultivation would be in vain. If both were exhaustible, it would result in annihilation. If it is said that one is exhausted, which dharma is exhausted? Hence this is clarified here.
