成唯識論演祕 2.21

2.21

Answer: Apprehending means illuminating; cognizing means reflective consideration; hence the two are different. Furthermore, the Abhidharmakośabhāṣya briefly distinguishes them by tetralemma: If a phenomenon has perceptual resistance, does it also have obstructive resistance? One should formulate four positions: the seven mind-elements and the associated phenomena that are part of the dharma-element are the first position; the five objects of form and so on are the second position; the five faculties of the eye and so on are the third position; the non-associated phenomena that are part of the dharma-element are the fourth position. If a phenomenon has perceptual resistance, does it also have cognitive resistance? One should answer according to the subsequent category: whatever has cognitive resistance definitely has perceptual resistance; there are some that have perceptual resistance but not cognitive resistance, namely the five faculties of the eye and so on.
