Third, the explanatory conclusion. The treatise says: "Causing the mind to arise and cease": "mind" applies to both the true and the false, but with the distinction between tatpuruṣa and karmadhāraya [compounds]; examine this. Real wisdom is original enlightenment; that which can enter is actualized enlightenment. That those below the ten stages cannot enter is because they have thoughts. Therefore the preceding text says: "All sentient beings are not called enlightened, because from the beginningless past thought after thought arises and ceases, never having been detached from thought."
