觀心論疏 2.25

2.25

論云：「問觀自生心，云何是三乘？拙度斷見思，出三界火宅。」前三偈明不了一念自生之心，不達四不可說之義理，故起見思二惑，事如前說。此去有四偈，是第三明理有淺深。若解悟一念自生之心，達四不可說之理，但解有大小巧拙、悟有漸頓淺深，致有四教之別，即為四偈也。

The treatise says: "[The verse] asks: Contemplating the spontaneously arising mind, / How is it the three vehicles? / Clumsy crossing over severs views and inclinations, / Escaping the burning house of the three realms." The preceding three verses clarified the failure to understand the spontaneously arising mind in a single thought-moment and the failure to comprehend the principle of the four inexpressibles, thus giving rise to the two delusions of views and inclinations, as explained above. From here there are four verses, which form the third [section], clarifying that the principle has shallow and profound levels. If one awakens to the spontaneously arising mind in a single thought-moment and comprehends the principle of the four inexpressibles, yet because understanding has great and small, skillful and clumsy, and awakening has gradual and sudden, shallow and profound, this leads to the distinction of the four teachings, which constitutes the four verses.
