Regarding the second, the conforming tolerance (anulomikī kṣānti), the explanation contains four layers of calming and insight (śamatha-vipaśyanā): First, initial cultivation of calming and insight, meaning that calming concentrates upon a single object while insight observes phenomena and noumenon. Second, gradual calming and insight, meaning that calming rests upon phenomenal objects in accordance with their noumenon, which is called being 'equal and uncontradicted'; insight thoroughly penetrates phenomena and noumenon, which is called 'conforming and fully knowing,' as the verse states: 'When phenomena exist, one also conforms and knows; when phenomena do not exist, one also conforms and knows.' Third, mature calming and insight, meaning that calming prevents delusions from arising, which is called 'causing the mind to be pure'; insight penetrates the preceding objects, which constitutes 'correctly abiding and cultivating.' Fourth, unified calming and insight: quiescence merging with the objective realm of noumenon is called 'entering'; wisdom becoming manifest in the mind is why it says 'accomplished.' The above four all involve the concurrent practice of calming and insight; only thus is it true conforming tolerance.
