2. The individual siddhānta for the person: The Great Sage observes the minds of people and expounds the Dharma for them. Because people's minds are each different, with respect to a single matter he may permit it or not permit it. As stated in a sūtra: 'Because of mixed karmic retribution, one is born into the world in a mixed manner and obtains mixed contact and mixed feeling.' Furthermore, the Phalguna Sūtra states: 'No person obtains contact; no person obtains feeling.' The intent here is precisely to shatter attachment and generate faith, to increase good roots, and to bestow various wholesome dharmas; hence it is called the individual siddhānta for the person.
