19.55

Among the correct ones, the commentary's "not relishing": This is not like the non-Buddhists who possess views and craving; this refers generally to the two lines below. "Forgetting mind and objects": Because subject and object are cut off, this is the mark of not relishing. Regarding "arising from concentration, etc.": Originally one did not enter concentration out of laxity or arrogance, and therefore upon arising from concentration it is also like this, unlike non-Buddhists who possess self-pride. Regarding "greed and anger, etc.": The original intention is to sever delusion, so they are able to gradually diminish, unlike non-Buddhists who crave fame, gain, and the like. Just as taking medicine removes illness and is an effective medicine, having known it to be an effective medicine, one must take it.
