有累然後得無也。就如所言累盡則無爾。為累之自去實不無待。實不無待則不能不無。故無無貴矣。如彼重暗自晞無假火日。無假火日則不能不設。亦明無尚焉。落等級而奇頓悟。將於是乎躓矣。暇任之餘幸思嘉釋。

only after having defilements [eliminated] can one attain non-existence. If it is as you say that non-existence comes when defilements are exhausted, then for defilements to depart on their own truly does not lack dependence. If it truly does not lack dependence, then it cannot avoid non-existence; hence non-existence is of no great value. It is like thick darkness dispersing on its own without relying on fire or the sun; if it does not rely on fire or the sun, then fire and the sun need not be set up, and light would possess nothing superior. Discarding stages to favor sudden awakening will surely stumble here! In your spare time, please favor me with an excellent explanation.
