27. The state of mind (cittatva) of this defiled essence, which is truly of the nature of consciousness, is indeed perceived by the unenlightened, just as silver is seen in a mother-of-pearl (oyster shell), but not by those who possess wisdom. Here, bondage arises from ignorance, while final liberation (mokṣa) comes through the power of knowledge.
