10.6

The perfectly clear mental substance is called 'cognitive clarity'. Free from the agitation of conception, it is called 'empty and serene'. The sky illustrates cognitive clarity; the clear weather illustrates being free from conception; 'coarse and heavy' refers to afflictions, because the aggregate of conception is the turbidity of affliction. The 'shadowy matters of the previous dusts' are the objects conceived. Since the conceiving subject is gone, the conceived objects do not stand; hence it says 'no longer having'.
