瑜伽論記 5.20

5.20

The seventh explains the Sūtra on the Four Paths of Progress: initially, as an ordinary being, one attains fundamental dhyāna, and later, hearing the Dharma, one is able to induce the path of seeing; this is also called relying on the higher mind to cultivate that taintless higher perception. That second person relies on the threshold samādhi to attain the first fruit; desiring to abruptly sever the afflictions of cultivation of the nine stages and proceed to realize arhatship, from the first fruit they subdue the afflictions of cultivation of the desire realm; attaining the tainted fundamental absorption and so forth is called inducing the path of cultivation; because tainted retrogradation is called the path of cultivation, it is also called relying on higher perception to cultivate the higher mind.
