Why do they understand disparities but not understand the illusory?" > The decree replied: "If worldlings were to understand the illusory, that would be understanding the true. It is because they do not understand the illusory that they are said to understand the conventional." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 21.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.33) - [Next: 21.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.35) - [Up: 21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103~en-mt.21.34) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.34) · Pramāṇa
