[Treatise:] For this reason [... to distance oneself from these karmic hindrances]. [Exposition:] Above, demonic events were discerned; here, the remedy is shown. "A practitioner should constantly contemplate..." and so forth encourages contemplation, not falling into the heterodox net. That is to say, the various māras ensnare practitioners with the aforementioned matters to make them fall into them; therefore, one should constantly contemplate with wisdom, and never allow the mind aiming for liberation to instead fall into the heterodox net and practice heterodox paths. "One should diligently maintain right mindfulness, neither grasping..." and so forth next demonstrates the method of contemplation. That is to say, when aberrant marks such as those mentioned above appear, one simply cultivates one's original practice without any stirring of thought; this is called diligently maintaining right mindfulness. Because of right mindfulness, wisdom arises, realizing that phenomena are just mind—what else could there be to grasp? Knowing that mind is just suchness, what could be attached to? Therefore it is called "neither grasping nor attaching." Because of non-attachment, all aberrant marks arising from karmic hindrances are completely distanced; hence it says "to distance oneself from these karmic hindrances."
