5.25

Defiled dharmas exist relying on ignorance. It is like being disoriented about directions and taking east for west: this disorientation has never been associated with a fixed direction. Since the tathāgatagarbha is originally free from defilement, the attachment to a personal self is simply a defiled dharma, and it is obvious that it cannot realize the tathāgatagarbha.
