瑜伽論記 5.346

5.346

The sixth section consists of one verse. In the explanation, mental conjunction is also like this: it lacks an intrinsically real nature of conjoined progression, yet it is not without conventional phenomena. Furthermore, "conjoined" refers to the same nature, and "unconjoined" refers to a distinct nature; what is not of the same nature may be unconjoined, and what is not of a different nature may not be unconjoined. From this it is known that there is no real nature of conjoined progression. The above explains the first two lines. Furthermore, "nor is a single mind either conjoined or unconjoined" explains the lower two lines: in conjunction, it is not the case that all are definitively conjoined with all; and if all are unconjoined, it is also not the case that they are definitively unconjoined. This is because in ultimate truth, there is no real meaning of conjunction or non-conjunction.
