2.54

"Ever" refers to the initial sprout. With spiritual wisdom wonderfully persisting, how could it be suspended even for an instant? Being and non-being both negated, how could form and appearance be obtained? Speaking of "an instant" means not even for a brief moment, how much less could it be suspended for long or obtained for long? Not only can characteristics such as being and non-being not be obtained, but wisdom itself is also unobtainable: the path of speech is cut off, and the place of mental activity is extinguished.
