起信論疏筆削記 15.67

15.67

三、結。論　知心無念者，覺知真心本不動也。疏　方便者，能所未亡故。正觀者，心境雙泯故。問：前標所觀通於心色，云何雙結但約心耶？答：心細色麁，本末殊等，觀色空則未必得入，觀心空則必能入也。

3. Conclusion. The treatise: 'Knowing that the mind is without thought': awakening to and knowing that the true mind is fundamentally unmoving. The commentary: 'Expedient means': because subject and object have not yet vanished. 'Correct contemplation': because mind and object are both extinguished. Question: Earlier, the stated object of contemplation applied to both mind and form; why does the dual conclusion refer only to the mind? Answer: Mind is subtle and form is coarse, the root and the branches being distinct; by contemplating the emptiness of form, one may not necessarily attain entry, but by contemplating the emptiness of the mind, one will necessarily be able to enter.
