13.8

Answer: 'One is not one' refers to what conceptual thought calls one. What is spoken of now is one completed by conditions. That which is completed by conditions is not what conceptual thought calls one. Therefore a sūtra verse says: 'One also does not serve as one; it is in order to shatter numbers. Those of shallow wisdom cling to dharmas; seeing one, they take it to be one.'
