4. Consciousness of concealing the inferior and revealing the superior. Mind and mental factors are both capable of transforming and manifesting, but one speaks only of 'mind-only', not 'mental-factor-only'. The substance of the mind-king is superior, while mental factors are inferior and arise depending on the superior; concealing the inferior so it is not displayed, one reveals only the superior dharma. Therefore Maitreya said: 'It is accepted that the mind appears like two, / And similarly appears as greed and the like, / Or appears as faith and the like; / There are no separate defiled or wholesome dharmas.' Although the self-nature of the mind can transform to resemble those two manifestations of subjective and objective aspects, the substances of greed, faith, and the like can each also transform to resemble their own manifestations of subjective and objective aspects. Because mind is superior, it is said that mind appears as the two; because mental factors are inferior, they are concealed and not mentioned, not that they are incapable of appearing like them. The Vimalakīrtinirdeśa states: 'Because the mind is defiled, sentient beings are defiled; because the mind is pure, sentient beings are pure'—such passages are all subsumed under this gate.
