It also asks: 'Can one accomplish bodily and vocal karma through that which is neither bodily nor vocal karma?' It answers: 'Yes, as when relying on the angry mind of a seer; hence [it is based] solely on the physical body of the desire realm. In the paths of wholesome karma, there are definitively manifest and unmanifest actions. In the unoutflow precepts of dhyāna, there is no unmanifest precept. Why? Because they rely on the mind. The intermediate dhyāna is variable. If one performs bodily or vocal karma with a profound mind, an ultimately reverent mind, one accomplishes manifest karma and unmanifest karma. If one initiates bodily or vocal karma with a profound mind and the mind of fetters, one also accomplishes manifest karma and unmanifest karma. If one performs bodily or vocal karma with a mind that is neither profound nor ultimately reverent, there is only manifest karma and no unmanifest karma. If one initiates bodily or vocal karma with a mind of fetters that is not profound, there is likewise only manifest karma and no unmanifest karma. If one performs manifest karma through preparatory means and one's mind later feels remorse, there is only manifest karma and no unmanifest karma.'
