6.68

The Commentary states: This means that this resolve is produced through the power of perverse teaching, perverse reasoning, perverse experiential realization, etc., or through the power of correct teaching, etc., or through the power of teaching, reasoning, and experiential realization that are neither perverse nor correct—namely, an ordinary intentional object—judging and decisively holding to the object grasped: 'this thing is thus, it is not not thus.' Alternatively, 'teaching' means instruction or verbal discourse, [arising] solely from repeated practice. 'Reasoning' means that there is this principle, which does not refer specifically to the real principle of the four noble truths; that is, it subsumes all empirical facts and true principles, such as the principle that 'this wood is wood,' and so forth up to all phenomena likewise. 'Experiential realization' means cultivating dhyāna, or cittas such as the direct perception (pratyakṣa) of the various consciousnesses that can judge decisively—all these possess resolve. Because, through these principles, an endorsement is produced, even if there are different conditions, one cannot be drawn away so as to generate doubt again in this mind.
