If you say it conditions them, one commits the error of the five consciousnesses conditioning nominal \[forms\]. If it does not condition them, why is it that when one closes one's eyes one does not see them, but when one opens one's eyes one sees them? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 53.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.53.24) - [Next: 53.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.53.26) - [Up: 53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.53) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.53.25) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.53.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.53.25) · Pramāṇa
