It
is a defect in language that words suggest permanent realities and
people do not see through this deception. But mere words cannot create
reality. Thus people speak of a final goal and believe it is real, but
it is a form of words and the goal as such is without substance. The one
who realizes the emptiness of objects and concepts does not depend on
words. Perfect wisdom is beyond definition, and pathlessness is the way
to it.
The wise one treads this path for the direct realization of impermanence
and for the direct realization of understanding. This, then, is perfect
wisdom. Such a one should tread this path knowing that attachment and
attractions are neither good nor harmful, even enlightenment is neither
good nor harmful, because perfect wisdom is not meant to promote good or
harm for that person. However, even though there is no intention of
good or harm, it does confer endless blessing.
