7.7

On the Śāstra's statement: "Excepting the arhat['s final mind] … is the nature of an equal-and-immediate condition (samanantara-pratyaya)": this is the second [section], explaining the equal-and-immediate condition. This passage presents the intrinsic nature (svabhāva) of the equal-and-immediate condition. That is, all arisen [dharmas] are past and present minds (citta) and mental factors (caitta), exclusively excepting the mind of an arhat immediately prior to nirvāṇa; although that [mind] has arisen, it is not an equal-and-immediate [condition] because there is no subsequent mind.
