5.23
Within the aspects of distinct elimination there are two: first, distinct elimination in terms of three categories; next, distinct elimination in terms of six practices. Regarding "Because of examining the ultimate correct principle, the sixth is established," the emptiness of the self that is clung to within merely causes, fruits, truths, and actualities is called the correct principle; because of examining this, arrogance and doubt are extinguished. First, ill will; second, harmfulness; third, jealousy; fourth, delusion, craving, and ill will: the *Bodhisattvabhūmi* states that these are, respectively, what the four kinds—benevolence, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity—counter. Here, stating that sympathetic joy eliminates displeasure refers precisely to jealousy. Equanimity eliminates craving and ill will, but delusion is not mentioned because objects of love and hatred are not equal, and both give rise to the practice of equanimity toward these, so it is said to eliminate only these two; neutral objects are conducive to equanimity, so it is omitted from the explanation, but in fact it also eliminates delusion. Regarding "If one is free from arrogance, in oneself there is liberation," not clinging to arrogance and proceeding free from the clinging of arrogance is called liberation, whereupon one has no doubt regarding the realized truths and realities.
