肇論新疏 1.300

1.300

義承前起，故云然則。前約二諦已出此文，展轉引釋至此義周，故復舉此以結。不可等者，物性本空，孰能強之令有？緣起既形，孰能排之令無？

The meaning follows upon what came before, hence it says "thus". Earlier, drawing upon the two truths, this text was already set forth; successively cited and explained, the meaning has here reached completion, so this is brought up again to conclude. As for "cannot [be obtained]", etc.: the nature of things is fundamentally empty—who could force it to exist? Dependent origination having already taken form—who could dismiss it to make it non-existent?
