Not-yet-thinking means the mind has not yet arisen; about-to-think means the mind is on the verge of arising; thinking means directly fixing on an object and abiding; having-thought means the conditioning of the object has ceased. If one can thoroughly comprehend these four, one enters the single mark of marklessness. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.2.47) - [Next: 2.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.2.49) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911~en-mt.2.48) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.2.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.2.48) · Pramāṇa
