2.83

斯者,指所引經,既云般若即是知體,復云無知無見,據斯經意知即無知,豈待反收其照、閉目塞聰,絕聖去智、冥如木石謂無知邪?

"Thus" points to the cited sūtra. Since it says prajñā is itself the essence of knowing, and further says it is without knowing and without seeing, then according to the meaning of this sūtra knowing is itself without knowing. How could it wait to withdraw its illumination, closing its eyes and stopping its ears, cutting off sagacity and abandoning wisdom, becoming murky like wood and stone, to be called "without knowing"?
