Where action is called for, act immediately—holding nothing back in full dynamic function. Like sparks struck from flint, like a flash of lightning; a swift flame outpacing the wind, a rushing torrent running across a blade. If one takes up the transcendent tongs and hammer, even so one cannot avoid dulling the edge and tying the tongue. Letting a single path through, try to bring it forward and see. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.5.19) - [Next: 5.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.5.21) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003~en-mt.5.20) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.5.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.5.20) · Pramāṇa
