16.13

Regarding the treatise stating: "Briefly, through [three] aspects, one who cultivates meditative attainments relishes the attainments": First, having attained a concentration and emerged from it, only then does one relish the past attainment. Second, either having not yet realized it, one relishes the future [attainment], relishing a future concentration; or, having already attained the threshold concentration (sāmantaka), one relishes the future fundamental [dhyāna]; or, having already attained the inferior grade, one relishes the superior grade. Due to the predominant influence of relishing, one pursues the future concentration, etc., and gives rise to relishing. Third, having already attained the threshold, fundamental, etc., in accordance with whichever one [it is], entering and emerging together with the concentrated mind, appearing like a concentrated mind while remaining in a non-distracted state, one gives rise to relishing. Below, an objection is resolved by stating: emerging from concentration, relishing can arise; when directly in concentration, there is no relishing, because relishing is defiled, whereas concentration is wholesome.
