Therefore it is said: 'Within brightness there is darkness, do not meet it as darkness; within darkness there is brightness, do not look at it as brightness.' Now tell me: how do you practice? Bias and upright have never left their original positions; how could unborn nature ever touch the causes and conditions of words?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.258](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.258) - [Next: 4.260](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.260) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001~en-mt.4.259) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.259](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.259) · Pramāṇa
