As for 'at-will': in the case of pervasive activity, although within absorption one can see all conditions, upon emerging from dhyāna absorption the observation is not concordant. Now, 'at-will' means that whether emerging from or entering absorption, one observes all phenomena naturally and spontaneously without relying on mental effort; this is called at-will. This is a brief explanation of the characteristics of the vicāra factor.
