起信論疏筆削記 6.15

6.15

責總立難疏二意中，初意云：心既通染，不合顯得唯淨之義，其猶雜鑛之金，豈能鑄得純金之像？二意云：心既是一，一則體狹，大乘義多，多故成廣，豈能以狹而示於廣？

Under the commentary's two points regarding raising the challenge against the general presentation: the first point says that since the mind pervades defilement, it is improper for it to reveal a meaning that is exclusively pure; this would be like gold in impure ore—how could one cast a statue of pure gold from it? The second point says that since the mind is one, being one means its essence is narrow, whereas the meanings of the Mahāyāna are many, and being many they are broad—how can what is narrow display what is broad?
