瑜伽論記 20.53

20.53

Tai says: Here, the parikalpita nature, grasping, and non-grasping are distinguished in terms of the grasping of self. Discriminated self-view conceptualizes the existence of a self due to the verbal teachings of non-Buddhists and the like, hence it is called 'cognitively awakened grasping'. Innate self-view does not depend on verbal teachings, but arises spontaneously through the power of habitual conditioning, hence it is called 'dormant grasping'. In this there are two: if ordinary beings and trainees have not uprooted the habitual seeds of that innate self-grasping, one should know that they have dormant grasping with respect to it. If arhats and the like have not yet abandoned crude heaviness of habitual conditioning, although they have completely severed the dormant seeds of defiled innate self-grasping, nevertheless there remains the crude heaviness of the habitual tendencies of self-grasping upon good and indeterminate seeds; through the power of this crude heaviness of habitual conditioning, good and indeterminate minds conceptualize a personal self, all of which is called having-grasping. Only the Buddha alone has uprooted habitual conditioning, hence he is called without-grasping.
