Question: If karma-ignorance is severed in the Tathāgata stage, [does] genuine contemplation sever delusion? Answer: Severing is of two kinds: first, direct severing; second, experiential severing. Conditioned observation is direct severing; genuine contemplation is experiential severing. Here in this treatise, it is according to the approach of experiential severing that it is severed upon entering the Tathāgata stage.
