瑜伽師地論略纂 14.6

14.6

The treatise says, "Yet I only say that in the present life one is certainly freed from craving and shadows, being extinguished, tranquil, cooled, and pure." This third passage explains the cessation and quiescence of the two kinds—the stations of consciousness and causes and conditions. Explanation: because his disciples practice and cultivate extensively, in the present life they can sever the four bodily ties (kāyagantha). The four bodily ties exist solely in the mental domain, because they are produced by conceptual discrimination; at the time of the path of seeing, these four are severed. "Craving" refers to seeking after a future body and so forth. "Shadow" refers to feeling; it is called so because it is the shadow of the tree of consciousness. These feelings and so forth will certainly be extinguished, not giving rise to craving and so forth; as the text below says, the defiled five aggregates will no longer continue in succession. "Tranquil" refers to the undefiled state of those in training (śaikṣa). "Cooled" refers to the undefiled state of those beyond training (aśaikṣa). "Pure" refers to the realm of nirvāṇa without remainder. The above has collectively cited the sūtra text, and below it will be explained in sequence. The treatise master himself divided the preceding text into three parts, which can be understood from the text of the treatise in sequence.
