[23] Examination of Delusion (25 verses)

MMK (23) Examination of Delusion (25 verses)

1. What has been born from desire is violent emotion,

Hatred and charm, are actually talked.

Because both good omens and bad omens are manifesting themselves together,

It seems clear that both are going to occur clearly.


2. A good omen and a bad omen are producing miscellaneous delusions.

But miscellaneous things and phenomena are manifesting themselves clearly together.

And so they do not manifest their subjective existence,

Therefore miscellaneous pains are never Real Facts.


3. Souls do not belong to the problems, whether they really exist, or not.

Therefore how is it possible for Souls to be the perfectly realized as Things, or
Phenomena.

The Souls are never included in the problem, whether they really exist, or not.

And so how is it possible for miscellaneous pains actually to be concrete things, or
substance at all?


4. Something, which can be acceptable as some kind of receptacle, is this world,

But pain can never be accepted as some kind of real entity.

Something, aha, it might be as if it is nothing.

Therefore even something, which is so severely painful, can never be anything at all.


5, Pain is similar to look at our own physical body actually.

The five kinds of Matter, ground, water, fire, air, and the space, do not belong to
painful situation.

Torture is similar to look at our own physical body,

Therefore torture does not exist as severe pain at all.


6. The real fact of the subjective existence, is not recognized.

Facts of the favorable and facts of the unfavorable are not being.

The severest pain is usually the strongest one between the two,

And the tendencies between the favorable and the unfavorable are changing
reciprocally with each other.


7. Color, sound, taste, feeling,

Smell, and the Rule of the Universe, all are the six kinds of sense perceptions.

Matter is much related with desire, and much related with darkness.

What are related with confusion, are actually prone to change their places with
other places


8. Color, sound, taste, feeling,

Smell, and the Rule of the Universe, each is individually independent from
matter or phenomena..

And they are very similar to a fantastic city called Gandharva, which is not necessary
in having jail.

Those are corpuscles of light, a mirage, or a sleep, and the similarities.


9. Even in a bad case of omen, or even in a good case of omen,

How is it possible for what kind of place to exist for the first time?

How is it possible for a human being, who has super power over than human beings, to have actually?

And even the images of the Sun or the Moon on the surface of water, are just the same as the Sun or the Moon themselves.


10. Without directing our care to the object, there is no good omen.

Because in such situations, even a bad omen cann’t be recognized intuitively.

Such a kind of fact is just clear as a good omen,

And so if it were in the case of good omen, nothing cann’t be recognized at all.


11. A bad omen, which is not cared by people, does never exist at all.

Because in the case of good omen, people are usually expecting so much to notice it
with intuition.

Such a kind of situations are also clear even in the case of bad omen too.

Therefore the actual situations of bad omens do not have even a scarce chance to be
recognised at all.


12. Without noticing the actual Reality, and in the case of only recognizing the good
omens,

Where does it possible for life to exist even in future?

When a bad omen hasn't been noticed,

Where is it possible for deep malice to be maintained even in future?


13. A fact, that a moment is just the eternity, exists in such a manner.

What we are always keeping, has also the character to change its direction reversely
at once.

What is perfectly eternal, can be seen in the state of balanced autonomic nervous
system.

Where can we find any existence of the situation, which are having the tendency to
separate to the two opposite directions in separation?


14. The insistence that what is innate is never lasting, might be connected with concrete
fact.

And at that time the grasp might be the contradiction.

If the idea that there is nothing, which is eternal, has been maintained completely,

How is it possible for the balanced state of autonomic nervous system not to
unbalanced state at all?,


15. With what kind of method shall we rely upon to do something, is just something to
do it actually.

Having something accomplished is just the grasping itself.

Being perfectly peaceful is just the Real Existence of everything,

Therefore the situations of perfectly having been grasped, is difficult to recognize.


16. When everything is not so clear yet, or when everything is just clear,

In the either cases of being opposite or being the same, they are not so different
from facts.

Something, which is contradictory with each other, can exist,

And something, which is going to the same direction with each other, can exist.


17. It does not exist in the perfectly opposite situations,

But there are cases, in which so many delusions have gathered together actually.

It does not exist in the perfectly same situations,

But there are cases, in which so many delusions have gathered together actually.


18. Even though those delusions are not included into the high-leveled lank,

Many delusions are collecting themselves together.

Even though it is not so clear for your reflection to be targeted to what kind of your
Reflection,

Many delusions are collecting themselves together.


19. How is it adequate for us to put a name to what hasn't been accomplished yet?

There might be many Delusions, which will occur in future.

Even before any kind of Delusion hasn't been born yet,

Where is it possible for the arrival of Delusions to come at all?


20. The fact, that the subjectivity is never be born, is the existence.

And then the objectivity does never be born too.

If the subjectivity and the objectivity are not like that,

Where is it possible for the arrival of Delusions to exist actually?


21. Ourselves, the innate brilliance of ourselves,

Or our comfortable situations, can be recognized actually, and then,

Ourselves, the innate brilliance of ourselves,

Or our comfortable situations, can never be Delusion at all.


22. Having no self-consciousness, and having our innate purity of ourselves,

Our comfort or our state like happiness, can be recognized ceaselessly.

What are not belonging to us, are not pure, and they are not innate.

The very severe pain can never become any kind of recognizable object at all.


23. Following like this, what is not recognized, is excluded.

And so Delusion has been emancipated from the attitude of denying Delusion.

Relying upon ignorance might be the same as relying upon suppression.

And utilizing demonstrative vanity, and so forth, they want to suppress everything.


24. When real accidents are relying upon subjective ideas,

Miscellaneous strong pains exist in something obscure, and the receptacle exists at the
same place.

How is it possible for only a title to make the serious problems?

What kinds of thing will produce such kinds of miscellaneous subjective ideas?


25. When subjective accidents are relying upon subjective ideas,

Miscellaneous strong pains exist in something obscure, and the receptacle exists in
it.

How is it possible for only a title to make the serious problems?

What kinds of thing will produce such kinds of miscellaneous abstract beings?
