### [2.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1987b.2.23)

或有相兼帶來者，這裏不說有語無語，這裏直須正面而去。這裏不得不圓轉，事須圓轉（相兼帶來者，為語勢不偏不正、不存不無，如全不全、似虧不虧，唯得正面而去也，去則不立的，不立的則至妙之言，境不圓常情之事。如先師代文殊喫茶語，曰：「借取這箇看得麼？」亦如翠微曰：「每日噇什麼？」）。

> Some come with mutual integration: here, one does not speak of having speech or being speechless; here, one must simply go forward facing straight ahead. Here, one cannot fail to be completely adaptable; the matter must be completely adaptable. (Those that come with mutual integration: because the momentum of the speech is neither biased nor correct, neither existent nor non-existent, like whole yet not whole, seeming deficient yet not deficient, one can only go forward facing straight ahead. Going forward, no target is established; not establishing a target, it is the most wondrous speech, a realm not rounded off by ordinary feelings. As when the late master spoke for Mañjuśrī drinking tea, saying, "Can you borrow this to take a look?" Or as when Cuiwei said, "What do you gobble down every day?")
