經云。在俗則謂之為縛。在道則謂之為解。解即無礙所致。縛即資待所招。今若欲有待於無待則有待更煩。無待於無待。則有待自遣。有待既遣則無礙之門可入。若志在於資養。便覩縛纏更重。但眾生凡類觸向多阻。不資於物則自濟無方。資於物者累之重也。生累纏繞解脫何由。今既深知其累。累實為苦。何以知之。

A sūtra states: 'In the worldly realm it is called bondage; in the Way it is called liberation.' Liberation is brought about by non-obstruction; bondage is incurred through dependence on provisions. Now, if one seeks non-dependence through dependence, dependence will become even more troublesome; if one practices non-dependence without depending, dependence will naturally be dispelled. Once dependence is dispelled, the gate of non-obstruction can be entered. If one's aspiration rests on sustenance and nurture, one will see the bindings become even heavier. Sentient beings of the ordinary sort encounter many obstacles in whatever they turn to; if they do not depend on things, they have no way to sustain themselves, yet depending on things makes encumbrances heavy. With encumbrances of life entangling them, by what means can liberation come? Now, having deeply understood its encumbrance, encumbrance is truly suffering. How is this known?
