瑜伽師地論略纂 7.49

7.49

The two lower lines "neither sinking nor restless, etc." explain firm vigor and heroism respectively, because they eliminate two evils and cultivate two goods. "Because of giving rise to desire regarding wholesome phenomena" explains the verse's giving rise to desire and not increasing evil. "In the midst of desires, greatly increasing revulsion" explains being devoid of desire and not increasing evil. "To cultivate wholesome phenomena, up to practicing sleep" explains the earlier sleep: for the sake of becoming capable and making the mind peaceful and tranquil, one should sleep at the proper times and should not allow [the body] to be ruined. That which resembles torpor is also included here. "If the mind sinks down... up to: not abiding in quietude": the former explains leaving behind sleep, because of reflecting on the pure, sublime marks of light; the latter explains leaving behind restlessness, by cultivating the semblance of restlessness, wandering for alms and practicing benefit for others without abiding in quietude. Alternatively, not abiding in quietude also explains leaving behind sleep, for if one continually abides in quietude, it increases sleep. "Regarding what was previously transgressed, there arises sorrow and remorse" explains the earlier remorse. "Regarding what was not transgressed, there is no sorrow and remorse" explains leaving behind remorse. "Regarding successively higher stages, generating longing and concern" explains generating longing and concern for the superior, which conversely reveals the former: for the former subtle and inferior things one does not generate longing and concern; this reveals a semblance of doubt, eliminating the marks of real doubt. The above five hindrances are all described as semblance-hindrances in order to be free from the true hindrances. "Earnest, uninterrupted, and correct expedient": "earnest" means in all aspects, namely fully cultivating; "uninterrupted" means at all times; "correct expedient" means cultivating properly.
