Answer: The evolving consciousness is precisely the evolving mark in the ālayavijñāna; relying on this evolving mark, it only then gives rise to the manifesting consciousness that manifests all realms of objects; this consciousness is precisely the integration of the true and the deluded. If conforming to the stream of saṃsāra, then the deluded has efficacy; though the deluded has efficacy, it cannot stand apart from the true. If turning against the stream to escape entanglement, the true has efficacy; though the true has efficacy, it is not revealed apart from the deluded. Therefore, its function is spoken of solely with regard to the conditioned arising of the integrated consciousness. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.214](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3.214) - [Next: 3.216](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3.216) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846~en-mt.3.215) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [大乘起信論廣釋卷第三．四．五](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4.94) — Classical Chinese - [大乘起信論內義略探記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1.64) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3.215](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3.215) · Pramāṇa
