2.91

見聞覺知非一一,山河不在鏡中觀。此頌離者,捨去也。逋者,懸遠也。謂所顯真理離一切相,不可以見聞覺知六情所測也。若以見聞覺知趣求者,捨去此理懸遠久矣。《維摩經》云「法離見聞覺知」,若行見聞覺知,則是見聞覺知,非不法也。直須放下情塵迴光可耳。

Seeing, hearing, sensing, and knowing are not single; / Mountains and rivers are not contemplated in a mirror. In this verse, "detached" means discarded. "Distant" means suspended far away. It means the true principle revealed is detached from all characteristics and cannot be fathomed by the six sentiments of seeing, hearing, sensing, and knowing. If one seeks it through seeing, hearing, sensing, and knowing, one has long been discarded far away from this principle. The Vimalakīrti Sūtra says: "The Dharma is detached from seeing, hearing, sensing, and knowing." If one practices seeing, hearing, sensing, and knowing, then it is seeing, hearing, sensing, and knowing, not the Dharma. One must directly let go of emotional dust and turn the light inward; that is all.
