64.67

Under the commentary's phrase "Herein, one should," this is the second, refuting by setting up an inference. It should say: The real self within the ultimate truth is the subject. Noble ones should be identical to ordinary beings is the property to be proved. The reason says: Because they possess inverted delusion that is ignorant of principle without a self. The homologous example says: Like all ordinary beings. Then the three members are already complete. When the commentary says "This concludes and establishes that noble ones should be identical to ordinary beings," this is simply the application and conclusion. It should say: Ordinary beings have inverted delusion; ordinary beings are ordinary beings. Noble ones have inverted delusion, identical to those ordinary beings. Being ordinary beings accomplishes the flaw of confusion. Next, under "Since noble ones are identical to ordinary beings," it analogously concludes one flaw, accomplishing the flaw of annihilationism.
