Answer: This may be so conventionally, but it is not so in the ultimate truth, because within the ultimate truth citta and speech are cut off. If in the ultimate truth citta and speech are cut off, why is it frequently said that citta and objects are false? It is in order to destroy attachment to reality that they are provisionally called false. If attachment to reality is removed, falsity also does not exist. Whether real or false, both serve to dispel attachments; they are stated relying on the conventional, not according to the ultimate truth. The words 'ultimate truth' are also a nominal designation, established to overturn the conventional, and are not a fixed referent.
