Answer: The Vijñaptimātratāsiddhiśāstra states: 'The wisdom of observation contemplates the particular and common characteristics of all dharmas, while this wisdom of accomplishing actions only gives rise to transformations; hence there is a difference. These two wisdom states should not arise simultaneously, because two consciousnesses of the same category do not arise together. Yet, as their substance is the same and they are differentiated by function, their simultaneous presence is also not a fault. Alternatively, associated with the seventh pure consciousness, relying on the eye and other faculties and taking form and other objects as its object, it is a differentiated function of the wisdom of equality: when the pure seventh consciousness gives rise to the characteristics of the other-enjoyment body and land, it is subsumed under the category of equality; when it gives rise to transformations, it is subsumed under the category of accomplishing actions.'
