瑜伽論記 7.169

7.169

The second interpretation says: regarding "moreover, beginning from cultivating the desire for wholesome dharmas, etc.": this refers to first practicing the general and specific applications of mindfulness among the fivefold stillness of mind, which is called "a beginner"; if one generates warmth and the like, this is called "one who has already practiced." If one has already realized and entered the right determination of detachment from birth and obtained the direct realization of the truths, this is called "one who has crossed over mental engagement"; a person who has attained direct realization, because they have already realized indestructible faith, is not drawn away or seduced by the evil conditions of Māra, non-Buddhists, and the like.
