In the answer, the affliction hindrance is explained first. 'Because relying on the defiled mind there are the ability to perceive and the ability to manifest' refers to the latter three subtle defilements. 'The false grasping of objective realms' collectively subsumes the former three defiled minds, as they equally arise based on objective realms. 'Opposing the nature of equality' explains the completion of the meaning of hindrance. Because these defiled minds have differences of subject and object, contradicting the equality of subject and object in fundamental cognition, they obstruct the cognition of ultimate reality.
