起信論疏筆削記 14.4

14.4

論　皆應下，三、結成其難。一時者，有二意：一揀信之有無、二揀起之前後。自知有真如法是信解，勤修方便是行，等入涅槃是證，一時之言須通此三而轉。執別等者，謂執有信無信前後等別，便疑真如亦有等類不同也。

On the Śāstra's text from "All should" onward: Third, he concludes by framing the challenge. "At the same time" has two meanings: first, to differentiate the presence and absence of faith; second, to differentiate the earlier and later of its arising. To know for oneself that the dharma of tathatā exists is faithful understanding; to cultivate skillful means diligently is practice; to enter nirvāṇa equally is realization—the phrase "at the same time" must be applied across all three. On "clinging to differences," and so forth: this means that clinging to such differences as having faith or lacking faith, earlier and later, one then suspects that tathatā also possesses unequal categories and distinctions.
