起信論疏筆削記 19.54

19.54

四邪中，疏　我見等者，迷此三惑，即名為癡，即我癡等是末那中俱生四惑。以是俱生故，云常相應，皆是無明住地所攝，故名為使。不減煩惱等者，修定本為除斷煩惱，既不能斷，何用定為？如服藥病增，則知非藥，安可更服？據謂依仗，憑託之義，不可憑仗而行也。

Among the four deviating ones, the commentary's "self-view, etc.": Being deluded about these three afflictions is called ignorance; that is, self-ignorance and the others are the four innate afflictions within the manas. Because they are innate, it says they are "always associated"; all are subsumed under the ground of abiding ignorance, and hence are called proclivities (anuśaya). Regarding "does not diminish afflictions, etc.": Cultivating meditative concentration was originally for the sake of eliminating afflictions; since it cannot sever them, what is the use of concentration? Just as taking medicine and having the illness worsen lets one know it is not medicine, so how could one take it further? "Relying upon" means depending on, leaning upon; it cannot be relied upon and practiced.
