Answer: Although the mind-essence arises and ceases, the mind-essence is constantly permanent; because they are neither one nor different, having no duality and yet lacking a singular nature, movement and stillness being not one and yet lacking different natures, like water. Relying on the aspect of continuity, there is flowing motion; relying on the aspect of arising and ceasing, it is constantly unmoving, because it is neither permanent nor annihilated. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1.43) - [Next: 1.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1.45) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849~en-mt.1.44) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1.44) · Pramāṇa
