1.30

The questioner asks: It is not that the sage’s mind is incapable of affirming; truly it is because there is no affirmation that can be affirmed. Although there is no affirmation that can be affirmed, it appropriately affirms non-affirmation. Therefore, when the sūtra says 'because paramārtha-satya is ānimitta, prajñā is unknowing', it is truly because prajñā lacks the knowing that has marks. If one takes the markless as markless, how could this burden paramārtha-satya?
