'Integrate' means to realize and converge. The sage understands that dharmas are identical to mind. The former gives rise to characteristics based on nature, while this integrates characteristics to return to mind, which is how one becomes a sage. The Śūraṅgama-sūtra says: 'All sentient beings from beginningless time have been confused about themselves, taking themselves to be things, losing their fundamental mind, and being turned by things. If one can turn things, one is identical to the Tathāgata.' Yun'an said: 'Formerly, when the Venerable Shitou read up to this point, he was suddenly thoroughly enlightened and said: "The sage has no self, yet there is nowhere that is not self. The Dharma body is signless; who speaks of self and other? The perfect mirror shining emptily within; the ten thousand forms, their substance profound, manifest of themselves."'"
