"All conceptualizations are eliminated following thought": this eliminates conceptualizing thoughts of the internal mind. Although it previously made one depart from apprehending the marks of inverted objects, if the internal mind remains, it is also a false inversion. Therefore, with all conceptualizations of the internal mind, as soon as a thought arises, it is eliminated. "Also eliminating the thought of elimination": this eliminates the deluded thought that can \[eliminate\]. Previously, it directed one to depart from thought and stated that thoughts are all eliminated; this did not mean that there exists a thought capable of eliminating. If the thought of elimination remains, it is also not free of marks; therefore, one also eliminates the thought capable of eliminating. From "Because all \[dharmas\]" onward, it explains the reason why one also eliminates the capable: because all dharmas originally have nothing to be conceptualized and have no substance that arises and ceases thought-moment to thought-moment. Since the thought to be eliminated is unobtainable, how could one further preserve the thought capable of eliminating? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.186](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.186) - [Next: 2.188](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.188) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813~en-mt.2.187) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大乘起信論廣釋卷第三．四．五](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5.69) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.187](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.187) · Pramāṇa
