"Though you have experienced renunciation,
And conceived the spirit of enlightenment,
Without the wisdom realizing voidness,
You cannot cut the root of cyclic life--
So you must strive to realize relativity.

If you see the inexorability of the causality
Of all things of cyclic life and liberation,
Your insight dissolves all objectivity-habits
And you find the path that pleases buddhas.

Appearance inevitably relative
And voidness free from all assertion--
As long as you understand these two apart,
The Buddha-intent is not yet known.

But when they coincide, not alternating,
Your mere sight of inevitable relativity
Secures your knowledge beyond objectivism,
And your investigation of the view is perfect."

Manjusri, through Tsongkhapa
