Answer: Because consciousness is fundamentally constituted by citta. Therefore, if consciousness lacks substance, it is simply the one mind. How is this different from objects being produced from consciousness, such that objects are gathered back into consciousness? If we discuss it comprehensively: fundamentally there is only the one mind; citta transforms into consciousness, and consciousness transforms into the various objects. For this reason, objects are gathered back into consciousness, and consciousness is gathered back into citta.
