[1362] [Paravādin:] "Should it not be said: 'Speech does not conform to the mind (citta)'?" [Sakavādin:] "Yes." [Paravādin:] "But is there not someone who, thinking, 'I shall say one thing,' says another; who, thinking, 'I shall tell one thing,' tells another; who, thinking, 'I shall address [another] with one thing,' addresses with another; who, thinking, 'I shall express one thing,' expresses another?" [Sakavādin:] "Yes." [Paravādin:] "If there is someone who, thinking, 'I shall say one thing,' says another, … who, thinking, 'I shall express one thing,' expresses another, then indeed, good sir, it should be said: 'Speech does not conform to the mind.'"
