Fifth is the hindrance of doubt. A deluded mind seeking truth with wavering indecision is called doubt. When cultivating dharmas such as the path and concentration, if through ignorance and dull obscurity one cannot discern the true from the false, and consequently wavers without resolution in mind, this is all called doubt. The general doubts of the world are not one; speaking strictly, the doubt that obstructs the path is precisely the twelve doubt anuśayas across the four stages in the three realms severed by seeing the truths.
