7.59

The Treatise says: "This is within the nature of unhindered indeterminate..." Question: Within the cognitive hindrance there is aversion and craving toward dharmas; aversion toward dharmas is anger, so how can it be indeterminate? Answer: There are two explanations: One says: in contrast to the affliction [hindrance], anger is solely unwholesome; but in contrast to the cognitive hindrance, it is indeterminate. The second says: aversion toward dharmas is also unwholesome. If so, it should bind and be capable of karmically inducing maturation. Answer: Although it is unwholesome, viewed from this aspect it has a distinction; it is not termed a bond, nor does it karmically induce fruition. Between the two explanations, the former is correct; the Treatise says it is indeterminate and does not extend to the unwholesome.
