That We Should Renounce It

English Translation · I.P. 856

DESfBE drowns the light within us; how can doubt fail to be a sin ? We should realize this for ourselves; if the mind is quite clear, it will testify to it. What was pure and stainless and enlightened was defiled by imposing on it form and name. A blind man cannot walk like one who sees; this is what Tuka says.

Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
