大乘起信論裂網疏 5.74

5.74

問：玩文中「然猶」二字，即指八相成道之人，何得別作漸教釋之？答：發心名同，權實迥異。前明八相，意指入正定聚者；今明微苦，意指或時退墮二乘地者故也。

Question: Considering the words "yet still" in the text, this refers to a person who achieves the way through the eight phases. Why do you interpret it separately according to the gradual teaching?

Answer: Though the name "arousing the mind" is the same, provisional and real are utterly distinct. The earlier explanation of the eight phases was intended to refer to those who have entered the group of the definitely settled; the present explanation of slight suffering is intended to refer to those who may sometimes regress to the stage of the two vehicles.
