瑜伽論記 5.25

5.25

'Completion' and 'assimilation' are restated and explained. 'Generating vigorous effort so that what is not yet complete is made complete' constitutes the essence of the morality, concentration, view, and liberation led forth, and is therefore not restated and explained. Furthermore, 'what is acquired' is morality, 'what is realized' is concentration and view, and 'what is led forth' is liberation. 'Morality and so forth' means that the 'and so forth' comprises concentration, view, and liberation. Furthermore, 'what is acquired' is morality, 'what is realized' is concentration, and 'what is led forth' is wisdom and liberation, which briefly omits the knowledge and vision of liberation; alternatively, both wisdom and the knowledge and vision may be called right view, fully encompassing the five aggregates. Regarding the 'seven how-are-theys' below: the first one is morality; as for the two each for concentration, view, and liberation, they are explained and matched as appropriate. Although one abides in the four phrases and six factors of endowed morality as explained extensively in the Śrāvakabhūmi, the two kinds—morality and concentration—are called 'complete' at the stage of ordinary beings and are 'assimilated' upon attaining the noble stage. Concentration contains two aspects: 1. When separating from desire, the first six mental applications have not yet attained the root, so they are not yet called 'complete'; when one attains the fruition of ultimate preparatory application, one attains the root concentration and it is called 'complete.' 2. Attaining the lower three dhyānas is not yet called 'complete'; only when one attains the fourth dhyāna is it called 'complete.' Liberation is in the stage of the learner; not yet complete, it is called 'complete' in the stage of the non-learner. Liberation at all times is called 'assimilated liberation.' The analytical cessations obtained through the obstacle to concentration and the obstacle to things are called 'liberation.'
