1.12

答曰若知一切法雖說無有能說可說雖念亦無能念所念是名隨順。若離於念名為得入復次真如者依言說分別有二種義(問。何者則依言說分別。答。真如無言說利四句絕百非。所以順言語便則執著分別。所言者依言說分別)。

[Treatise:] Answer: If one knows that although all dharmas are spoken of, there is no speaker or that which can be spoken of, and although they are thought of, there is no thinker or that which can be thought of, this is called compliance. If one is free from thought, it is called gaining entry. Furthermore, tathatā, when distinguished in reliance on verbal expression, has two meanings. ([Interlinear note:] Question: What is meant by being distinguished in reliance on verbal expression? Answer: Tathatā has no verbal expression; it transcends the four propositions and cuts off the hundred negations. Because of complying with words and language, one then becomes attached to distinctions. What is spoken of is distinguished in reliance on verbal expression.)
