¹ Cp. *Ratnaprabhā*: "Vidyāviṣayo jñeyaṃ nirguṇaṃ satyam avidyāviṣaya upāsyaṃ saguṇaṃ kalpitam" (i. i. 11). Cp. with this the analogical knowledge of Schoolmen, the knowledge that knows its deficiency and by the very acknowledgment of it corrects it. Cp. Plotinus: "If we call it the Good, we do not intend any formal affirmation of a quality within itself; we mean cnly that it is the Goal or Term to which all aspire. When we affirm existence of it, we mean no more than that it does not fall within the realm of non-existents; it transcends even the quality of being" (McKenna's E.T., vol. i, p. 118).
