Commentary: Below, regarding the cause of directly perceiving the exceedingly profound meaning of worldly words and phrases: this refers to preaching the great teaching, because teachings are worldly conceptual play, names, and phrases. “Meaning” refers to the purport—the reason why the teaching is spoken. This is the reply of adducing the past to establish the present. In the text there are three parts: first, adducing the past; second, concluding to establish the present; third, explaining its meaning. This is the first.
