4.6

Question: Among the four meanings of the citta, the first two meanings are the deluded mind of conceptual reflection, and the latter two meanings are the permanently abiding true mind. In terms of the true mind, its original nature is profound and mysterious, its ultimate principle empty and quiescent; since it has no quantity or number, it need not be pointed out further. But regarding the deluded mind, since it involves seeing and hearing, and is also said to arise and cease, how many kinds of active characteristics does this mind of conceptual reflection have?
