Answer: It is due to inversion. Inversion is the root of kleśas. Due to the transformation of vijñāna, various discriminations arise. When the paratantra-svabhāva accords with the parikalpita-svabhāva, that is inversion, the resting place of kleśas. Inversion and kleśas are, in turn, the resting place of the transformation of vijñāna. If there were no meaning of mutual reliance, vijñāna would not transform, and discriminating non-things as things—this inversion should not exist. If there were no kleśas, how could there be the noble path? Therefore, that argument is also not established. For this reason, one should have faith that apart from vijñāna there is no separate phenomenon.
