4.6

《論》:覆謂染法,障礙聖道者。問:染法障聖道,說名為有覆。不善亦障聖,同名為有覆?答:據能障聖道,不善應名覆。招果勢用強,故不名有覆。問:不善招報強,從勝不名覆。無想不感果,障聖名有覆。答:自性染法覆蔽,勝障聖名有覆。無想報等,翳理微故,不名有覆。

The treatise says: "Obscuring refers to defiled dharmas obstructing the noble path." Question: If defiled dharmas obstruct the noble path and are called obscured, then since unwholesome dharmas also obstruct the noble path, are they equally called obscured? Answer: In terms of their ability to obstruct the noble path, unwholesome dharmas should be called obscured; but because their functional power to bring about karmic fruition is strong, they are not called obscured. Question: Unwholesome dharmas strongly bring about retribution, and following their predominance they are not called obscured; non-conceptualization does not produce karmic fruit, yet it obstructs the noble path, so is it called obscured? Answer: The obscuration of defiled dharmas by their own nature is predominant in obstructing the noble path, so it is called obscured; the retribution of non-conceptualization and the like obscure the principle only subtly, so they are not called obscured.
