22.26

若以此譬為盡耶。則不盡。若謂本不盡耶。則不可以為譬也。若形即是神神即是形。二者相資理無偏謝。則身亡之日形亦應消。而今有知之神亡無知之形在。此則神本非形形本非神。又不可得強令如一也。

If this analogy is considered exhaustive, it is not exhaustive. If it is said to have been inherently non-exhaustive, then it cannot serve as an analogy. If the body is the spirit and the spirit is the body, the two supporting each other so that by principle neither can perish unilaterally, then on the day the person dies, the body should also vanish. Yet now the conscious spirit has perished while the insentient body remains. This shows that the spirit was originally not the body, and the body was originally not the spirit; nor can they forcibly be made into one.
