答：文、門並是實相，眾生多顛倒，少不顛倒，以文示之，即於文達文、非文、非文非不文。文是其門，於門得實相故。文是其門，門具一切法，即門、即非門、即非門非不門。

Answer: Both the text and the gateway are true reality. Sentient beings are mostly inverted and rarely non-inverted; when it is shown to them through texts, right within the text they realize text, non-text, and neither text nor non-text. The text is its gateway, because through the gateway one attains true reality. The text is its gateway; the gateway possesses all dharmas, being at once the gateway, at once not the gateway, and at once neither the gateway nor not the gateway.
