"Subhūti, what do you think? When discussing the sands in Ganges river, the Buddha calls these 'sands,' does he not?"
"Yes, World Honored One, the Tathāgata calls them 'sands.' "
"Subhūti, what do you think? If each of the sands in the one Ganges river each contained its own Ganges river, and each grain of sand in all these Ganges rivers represented a buddha-world, would not their number be many?"
"Very many, World Honored One."
The Buddha said to Subhūti: "The Tathāgata is fully aware of the various thoughts of each of the sentient beings dwelling in these buddha worlds. And how so? None of what the Tathāgata calls 'thoughts' are actually thoughts. Therefore they are called thoughts. Why? Because the past thought is unobtainable, the present thought is unobtainable, and the future thought is unobtainable."
