3.24

四、依智不依識。依智者,照了之心名之為智。若於正觀智慧心無所著,而修諸波羅蜜萬行功德,則能破散五住煩惱及無邊生死之業,必獲大乘涅槃常樂我淨,故云依智。不依識者,妄想之心名之為識。若依妄識而修諸波羅蜜萬行功德,則搆集五住煩惱二邊生死之業,是以流轉無際,眾苦不息,故云不依識。

Fourth, rely on wisdom, do not rely on consciousness. 'Relying on wisdom' means that the mind of illumination and discernment is called 'wisdom'. If, with a mind of right contemplation and wisdom that is unattached, one cultivates the myriad practices and merits of the pāramitās, one will be able to shatter and scatter the five-abode afflictions and the karmic deeds of boundless saṃsāra, and inevitably obtain the permanence, bliss, self, and purity of Mahāyāna nirvāṇa; hence it is said: 'rely on wisdom'. 'Do not rely on consciousness' means that the mind of conceptual fabrication is called 'consciousness'. If one relies on false consciousness to cultivate the myriad practices and merits of the pāramitās, one will amass the five-abode afflictions and the karmic deeds of saṃsāra in the two extremes, and because of this wander endlessly in transmigration with manifold sufferings unceasing; hence it is said: 'do not rely on consciousness'.
