Harmonious association is an alternative name for 'concomitance' (samprayukta), just as 'to be produced' is called 'to arise,' \[where\] active manifestation produces seeds. If one speaks of different times, how can this be explained? In a sentient being lacking the \[enlightenment-\]nature, this seventh consciousness never ever undergoes modification; lacking the third \[meaning\] of having increase and decrease, it should not be capable of perfuming. There are two explanations of this. One says: This is also not the case; from beginningless time self-grasping has been increasing, and moment by moment active manifestations and seeds increase; it is not that they do not increase. Just as wrong views and so forth, though spoken of as a single grade, also have differences; hence they are fully endowed with the four meanings. Like non-conceptual wisdom, after entering the path of seeing it gradually increases; it is not that an increase in substantial magnitude is called increase, but merely that it becomes increasingly clear and keen. This is also like that: from beginningless time its cognitive appearance becomes increasingly dark, and grasping firmly it does not let go; therefore it is called an increase. However, this is extremely difficult. The second says: It also has increase and decrease; it is coarse in the desire realm, and up to subtle in \[the sphere of\] neither conceptualization nor non-conceptualization; with the differences tied to the \[various\] grounds, the coarseness and subtlety are not the same, and when born into lower or higher \[realms\] there are also changes, because there are increase and decrease. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.98](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.3.98) - [Next: 3.100](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.3.100) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830~en-mt.3.99) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.3.99](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.3.99) · Pramāṇa
