Tao-sheng: Ignorant and Unaware

[The children] do not know that the fires are coming towards them. They are not frightened or afraid. They are about to suffer, but do not mind. They do not wish to get out.’

They don’t think that [desires] harm the [wisdom] life: they are “unaware and ignorant.” Being “ignorant and unaware,” how can they be made perturbed and afraid?

Injury pressing in upon the wisdom-life is not taken as a calamity. Without being told of what has happened, how can they have any wish to leave?
