Knowing is the antidote to the first conceptual thought taken on the path of meditation. Subhuti, if you were to say, 'That vehicle will definitely produce something,' Subhuti, that vehicle will not produce anything definitively. Why is that? Subhuti, it is like this: whatever that vehicle is, whatever is definitively produced, whatever definitively produces, and whatever it is definitively produced from—all those things are nonexistent, because there is no object of focus. Thus, if all things are nonexistent and have no object of focus, what thing will be definitively produced by what thing? Why is that? Subhuti, it is like this: because the self is purified by transcending extremes, beings, life, activity, nourishment, individuals, persons, those born of strength, offspring of strength, agents, experiencers, knowers, seers—because they are purified by transcending extremes, the self has no object of focus. Because it is purified by transcending extremes, beings, life, activity, nourishment, individuals, persons, those born of strength, offspring of strength, agents, experiencers, knowers, seers have no object of focus. Because it is purified by transcending extremes, the realm of phenomena has no object of focus.
