Fourth, concluding the contemplation. Commentary: In "Being able to know...," etc., one only knows that karma of good and evil does not perish, but does not know selflessness and non-action. Therefore, although it is an awakening, it is just non-enlightenment; this is explained according to the present stage. From "This only..." onward, it is explained in looking forward to subsequent stages. Because subsequent stages have already awakened to affliction, this stage only awakens to karma; affliction and the meaning of enlightenment directly oppose and overturn each other, whereas karma and actualized enlightenment are not yet directly opposed, so it is merely called "halting."
