“Am I already here before I see and taste and feel? … If I were here without them, they could be here without me. I reveal them and they reveal me. How can I be here without them? How can they be here without me? I am not already here before experience as such: seeing reveals just the seer, tasting just the taster, feeling just the feeler.”
– Nāgārjuna, Mūlamadhyamakakārikā, Batchelor tr. (Ch 9)
