7.207
I now say: This is not so. If there were an emotional obstacle that did not co-arise with the cognitive obstacle, it might be as you say. But no defilement arises apart from the cognitive [obstacle]; all emotional obstacles necessarily arise from the same seed as the cognitive [obstacle]. Why would only the view of self be identical with the cognitive [obstacle], while the others were not identical? Among these three anuśayas, the first two are associated with the sixth [consciousness], because they are severed before the seventh ground. The subtle anuśaya extends to the seventh [consciousness], because it is still active on the eighth ground and above, and is not said to be severed. However, speaking of the two [types of defilements]—proximate and distant—induced by the view of self of the sixth [consciousness], refers to those associated with the sixth, not those associated with the seventh, because those associated with the seventh are not induced by the sixth.
