大乘起信論略述 2.104

2.104

論。以不解故至自相差別　述曰。此正明執相也。色謂相好。心謂相好。心謂力等。彼初心者執此為實。聞如來藏備功德法。不解約真性德而說無差別相。謂有如前自體差別色心功德。

[Treatise:] "Because of failing to understand, [they say that the Tathāgata-garbha in its own essence has distinct attributes of form and mind...]" [Commentary:] This directly clarifies the characteristics of the attachment. "Form" refers to the marks and signs; "mind" refers to the powers and the like. Those beginners cling to these as real. Hearing that the Tathāgata-garbha is fully equipped with virtuous dharmas, they fail to understand that this is spoken in reference to the inborn virtues of the ultimate nature being without distinct attributes, and they claim that it possesses inherent distinctions of form and mental virtues as described above.
