Next, the superiority and inferiority of the arousal of the mind are explained. It is said that the Tathāgata stated: 'The karmic fruit of merit from even a single thought of the initial, inferior arousal of the mind by all bodhisattvas cannot be fully described in hundreds of thousands of myriads of kalpas. How much more so could the karmic fruit of merit from the various minds cultivated for a single day, a single month, a single year, or even a hundred years ever be fully described? Why is this? Because what the bodhisattva practices is inexhaustible, desiring to cause all sentient beings to abide in the tolerance of unarisen dharmas and attain unsurpassed bodhi.'
