瑜伽論記 13.44

13.44

Answer: Here there are two types of persons in each case. Among the śrāvakas there are two types of persons: first, those whose faculties are not mature; second, those whose faculties are not yet mature. The first are of determinate nature, and the second are of indeterminate nature; hence it is not elaborated for them. If those of indeterminate nature have mature faculties, why would it not be elaborated for them? Ordinary beings are also like this: first, those whose faculties are not mature, persons without gotra; second, those whose faculties are not yet mature; hence it is not taught to them. Now, regarding those who hear it, they are all those whose faculties have already matured, and therefore they receive it. Now saying that 'to the ordinary and the foolish, I do not reveal it', the meaning lies in this.
