4.89

[Treatise:] By what meaning is this so? [Because they truly know that all sentient beings and their own selves are equal in tathatā, without difference.] [Commentary:] This reveals the reason for the identical substance of self and other. In the text there is a question and an explanation. "By what meaning is this so?" questions and inquires into the reason for self and other having no distinction. "Because they truly [know]..." and so forth answers by reference to tathatā to reveal its meaning: self and other share the same truth and have no separate substance; how could one see sentient beings existing outside oneself?
