- This naive, incorrect evaluation
- Is supported by the Spirit that is perfectly pure;
- But the true Essence of the Spirit (which is the Absolute)
- Has not its support in any (of the worldly elements).
Takasaki (1966) [4]
- The Irrational Thought is founded
- In the [innate] mind which is pure,
- The innate mind has, however, no support
- In any [of the worldly] phenomena.
Fuchs (2000) [5]
- The improper conceptual activity
- fully abides on the purity of mind.
- Yet, the nature of the mind itself
- has no basis in all these phenomena.
