Regarding the commentary's statement, "These two are non-dual, and both can be compared to gold": this means that the true mind is the essence, not distinct from the characteristics of faith and so on, with no duality whatsoever. Because the true mind is free from the turbidity of lack of faith, it is called faith; the absence of harming in the second and third is loving-kindness and compassion; the fourth, being without stinginess, is giving; the fifth is without indolence; the sixth is without ignorance; the seventh is not failing to revere the worthy; the eighth is not failing to fear wrongdoing; the ninth is being without fragility; the tenth is not going against the Buddha's teaching. Therefore, these ten practices are merely the single true mind serving as two meanings; thus they do not have two essences and are both inherently present, and so both can be compared to gold.
