"The goddess said: 'The Buddha said that being free from lust, anger, and delusion is liberation for those with the arrogance of premature attainment. If there are those without the arrogance of premature attainment, the Buddha teaches that the nature of lust, anger, and delusion is itself liberation.'" (Second, the reply. Those with the arrogance of premature attainment consider themselves to have attained what they have not yet attained. Śāriputra's attainment based on the Hinayāna is not the arrogance of premature attainment, yet his considering himself to sit together with the Buddha on the seat of liberation is called the arrogance of premature attainment. Since he has not yet awakened to the equality of bondage and liberation, [the Buddha] preached for him that freedom from bondage is liberation. If it is for mahāsattvas without the arrogance of premature attainment, he preaches that the very nature of bondage is liberation, entering the gate of non-duality.)
