### [5.86](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.5.86)

四大無主復如水　遇曲逢直無彼此  
淨穢兩處不生心　壅決何曾有二意  
觸境但似水無心　在世縱橫有何事

> "The four great elements have no master, again like water:  
> Meeting twists and encountering straights, there is neither this nor that.  
> In clean and foul places alike, it does not generate a mind;  
> Whether blocked or bursting forth, when has it ever had two thoughts?  
> Encountering objects, it is just like water—without mind;  
> Dwelling in the world freely and unrestrained, what matter could there be?"
