The Yaoji states: "It must depend on mental attention, yet this is the mental attention of the fundamental vow, not spoken of the fruit of Buddhahood. That is, due to the fundamental vow, when the faculties of sentient beings are mature, transformations are manifested in response; because the faculties of sentient beings are not mature constantly, the deeds of mental attention are interrupted." It also states: "The five consciousnesses are able to arise through the power of the manovijñāna; the mental attention of the manovijñāna can give rise to the all-accomplishing [wisdom], which naturally responds to capacities without a separate mental attention, because the five consciousnesses can only arise by depending on it. That is, when the faculties of those to be converted are mature, natural mental attention can induce the five consciousnesses; because faculties are not mature constantly, inducing those five consciousnesses has times of arising and non-arising, as they must depend on faculties and objects. Although these are two explanations, the principle is very difficult to settle definitively."
