Komentář:

This is a continuation of the previous sutra. If whiteness is inherent to cloth, then we can add colors to the cloth, but it will not change the fact that when we rinse the colors away, the cloth will return to its whiteness. (Please note this sutra was written before synthetic colors existed). Similarly, if there is a forest fire, people may not expect that anything will grow again, but seeds will grow because that is their inherent quality (again, this was written before nuclear energy was discovered, which is something that can render a seed sterile). Wetness is inherent to water - if one removes this quality, the water is not water anymore. If one removes heat, there is no fire. This inherency is a part of the meaning of the gunas, the properties - an entity cannot remain the same or identical to itself once its qualities change.
