Answer: Truth and delusion have no nature of their own; they constantly accord with a single source. How could there be two cittas that are mutually identical? Because the nature is pure and undefiled, delusion cannot be found. Just as an illusory knife cannot cut stone, and a bitter fog cannot defile the sky. It is for the person who has not comprehended the one mind that identity is spoken of.
