Furthermore, if one says it is present: as for the present, is it within, without, or in between the two? If one says it is within, it would not depend on the external, because the internal would exist by itself. If one says it is without, it would have no fault regarding oneself. Furthermore, external sense objects lack awareness; how could they have mind? Since there is neither within nor without, how could there be an in-between? If there is no in-between, then there is no resting place. Contemplating it like this, one does not see its appearance, nor is it in any spatial location; one should know that this mind is ultimately empty and quiescent. Since one does not see mind, nor does one see non-mind, there is not even an object of contemplation, how much less a subject of contemplation? Without subject and without object, inverted thinking is severed. Since inverted thinking is severed, there is no ignorance, nor craving and hatred. Without these three poisons, from where could guilt arise?
