Those things which appear only occasionally in the presence of something cannot arise from that alone but depend on other causes—just as sprouts appear or do not appear depending on the presence or absence of seeds even when soil etc. are present, and just as visual cognition occurs only occasionally even when colors etc. are present, depending on whether the eyes are closed or open—thus [this constitutes] the recognition of contradiction with the pervader in case of denial [of the eye].
