4.72

Answer: It is called 'severance of views' because it severs all views; this may well be so. The Pañcaviṃśati states, 'Because one severs all views, one is called a mahāsattva.' The real fear is only that views cannot be severed. Furthermore, only if there were views could one speak of severing views. Since views fundamentally do not exist, what is there to sever? The sūtra states, 'Movement of mind is the snare of Māra; non-movement is the Dharma seal.'
