3.106

Concerning "feeling born of contact with ignorance, not truly knowing that cognitive object, is also permanently severed, etc.": when feelings born of tainted contact experience the two fruits, they do not truly know the cognitive object; conditioned by this, they generate afflictions, generate karma, and moisten rebirth. Because these feelings are severed, ignorance is also extinguished for lack of a basis; the cognitive object does not increase, and realizing taintless wisdom is called liberation through wisdom. Because feeling is severed, craving does not arise; this associated mind is freed from associated bondage and realizes liberation of mind. Concerning "If that ignorance were not permanently severed, […] they would arise in the subsequent limit": if ignorance in the middle limit were not extinguished, the formations such as consciousness in the subsequent limit would arise; this is the counter-explanation. Concerning "Because ignorance is extinguished, they no longer arise again, and one attains the state of non-arising": this is the forward explanation.
