2.194

This means that due to these four conditions, the water of the mind is made to flow, generating the waves of the evolving consciousnesses. Just as it is with the eye-consciousness, so it is with the remaining consciousnesses. In all the sense faculties, subtle atoms, and pores, the eye and other evolving consciousnesses either arise suddenly—like a bright mirror manifesting myriad colour-forms without before or after—or arise gradually, like a fierce wind blowing upon the great ocean, where the preceding waves arise and the succeeding waves follow them. The "subtle atoms and pores" refer to the dust of form and the body faculty.
