答。若也有執。則無所不礙。若也無執。則無所不通。如智論云。若人見般若。是則名被縛。若不見般若。是亦名被縛。若人見般若。是則名解脫。若不見般若。是則名解脫。中道即實相。是有也。中道即性空。是無也。亦名為假名。亦有亦無也。亦名為中道。非有非無也。故知無執則四句皆是。涅槃經云。有緣服毒生。無緣服毒死。有服甘露傷命而早夭。或有服甘露壽命得長存。此之謂矣。

> Answer: If one has attachment, then there is nothing that is not an obstruction. If one has no attachment, then there is nothing that does not penetrate freely. As the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa says: 'If a person sees prajñā, this is called being bound; if they do not see prajñā, this is also called being bound. If a person sees prajñā, this is called liberation; if they do not see prajñā, this is also called liberation.' The Middle Way is true reality: this is existence. The Middle Way is the emptiness of nature: this is non-existence. It is also called provisional name: this is both existence and non-existence. It is also called the Middle Way: this is neither existence nor non-existence. Therefore, know that when there is no attachment, all four propositions are correct. The Nirvāṇa Sūtra says: 'One with suitable conditions drinks poison and lives; one without suitable conditions drinks poison and dies. There are those who drink amṛta, harm their life, and die young; there are also those who drink amṛta and attain long-lasting life.' This is what it means.
