此之妄想能損法身、能傷慧命，功德法財由之喪失，名之為賊。迷而不識，認為真常，將謂嫡生欲期嗣世，反遭破喪歷劫貧窮，故失元常受輪轉也。故下文云「睧擾擾相以為心性，一迷為心，決定惑為色身之內，不知色身外洎山河虛空大地咸是妙明真心中物。棄之大海，唯認浮漚，迷中倍人，真可怜愍。」

These false thoughts can damage the dharmakāya and harm the life of wisdom; the dharma-wealth of merit is lost because of them, and therefore they are called 'thieves'. Being deluded, one does not recognize them, but takes them to be truly constant, expecting an heir from one's own lineage, only to suffer ruin, loss, and poverty across kalpas; hence one 'loses original constancy and undergoes transmigration.' Thus the text below says: 'You take the blurred and agitated appearances to be the mind's nature. Deluded once into taking this as mind, you are determinedly confused into thinking it is within the physical body, not knowing that the physical body, outward to the mountains, rivers, space, and the great earth, are all things within the wondrous, luminous, true mind. Casting away the great sea, you recognize only a floating bubble—a doubled delusion among the deluded, truly pitiable.'
