第六解微智，謂對外道解展轉聖弟子能知微細，名為微劣，外道觀身雖久住立，而有死生有捨取故，知是無常性厭離欲，不知念念微細生滅，執定起我，乃至離無所有處欲而猶有我見隨逐，仍名未得解脫，以於緣生不善巧故，諸聖弟子已於緣起得善巧故，但觀四大細無常性，未則觀識是無常性。下釋先觀四大色身所以，以四大身經久時住，如大山等，念念無常難可得知，是故先觀識無常相麁顯可知，剎那易脫故，識無常性雖復麁顯，然復說名最極微細，其性難識，唯慧眼見故，諸聖弟子復欲悟入識無常性，先觀五受前後位分，次便悟入識無常性。

Sixth, explaining subtle wisdom: this means, relative to non-Buddhists, the sequential ability of the noble disciples to know what is subtle is called subtle-inferior. Although non-Buddhists observe that the body abides for a long time, because there are death, birth, discarding, and grasping, they know it is impermanent by nature and develop disgust and revulsion toward desire; yet they do not know moment-to-moment subtle arising and cessation, and by clinging to fixity they generate a self. Even when detaching from the desire of the sphere of nothingness, the view of self still accompanies them, and they are still termed not having attained liberation, because they are unskilled in conditioned arising. Because the noble disciples have already attained skill in conditioned arising, they merely observe the subtle impermanent nature of the four great elements, and have not yet observed that consciousness is impermanent by nature. Below explains the reason for first observing the material body of the four great elements: because the body of the four great elements abides for a long time, like a great mountain, its moment-to-moment impermanence is difficult to know. Therefore, one first observes that the impermanent characteristics of consciousness are coarse and clearly knowable, because it alters and transitions from moment to moment. Although the impermanent nature of consciousness is coarse and apparent, it is nevertheless also called extremely subtle, for its nature is difficult to recognize and only seen by the eye of wisdom. Therefore, when noble disciples wish to awaken to and enter the impermanent nature of consciousness, they first observe the preceding and subsequent states of the five feelings, and next awaken to and enter the impermanent nature of consciousness.
