1.64

Answer: Goodness follows along with the person, but is obstructed by delusions; evil is newly arisen and does not permanently belong to the person. Therefore, [the siddhānta] 'for the person' calms evil and generates goodness; goodness belongs to the person. The antidote severs evil, and the person is not the evil; if the person were the evil, then when evil is extinguished, the person should also be extinguished. Therefore, we know that evil does not belong to the person.
