+Awareness does not engage with objects of the ordinary mind.  It is “self-
+cognizing primordial wisdom.” This can be illustrated by the “light” of
+the new moon: a profoundly indwelling luminosity, which does not radiate
+outward.  Therefore, despite the fact that the five primordial wisdoms are
+spontaneously present in awareness, the latter is without thoughts related to
+sense objects.  By contrast, even when it is still, the ordinary mind
+nevertheless “moves” and follows after different objects.  It is like the
+light of the moon on the fifteenth of the month, which radiates outward and
+engulfs everything.
