6.45

From "Because of this..." onward concludes by establishing the One Mind. Because the two gates mutually subsume and their principle is equal, they are fused without duality; being non-dual, it obtains the name "One Mind." Thus the two gates and the One Mind have no difference in essence. If differentiated in meaning, then the One Mind is the general and the two gates are the particular. Furthermore, within the particular, tathatā concerns essence and arising and ceasing concerns marks. If [viewed in terms of] the essence itself completely merged, then nature and marks are non-dual, which is immediately the One Mind. Now, since the two gates mutually subsume, completely appropriating and both vanishing, there is solely the One Mind and no other dharma; therefore it now concludes by establishing the One Mind.
