大乘起信論廣釋卷第三．四．五 5.44

5.44

論。以眾生至故不能了　釋曰。此舉非顯失。以眾生等者。初明妄見限境。以妄起等者。釋成不見所由。謂一切法真如為性。若了法性則能遍知。若起妄見。自有礙境。不稱法性。不現餘境。是故不能了諸法也。故新論云。一切眾生執著妄境。不能得知第一義性不顯照等。

[Treatise:] "Because sentient beings ... therefore they cannot comprehend." [Commentary:] This cites the incorrect to reveal the error. "Because sentient beings..." first explains that deluded views delimit the realms. "Because of the arising of delusion..." explains the reason for not seeing. This means that all phenomena take tathatā as their nature; if one comprehends dharmatā, one can know universally. If one gives rise to deluded views, one possesses obstructed realms that do not accord with dharmatā and do not manifest other realms; therefore, one cannot comprehend all phenomena. Thus the new translation states: "All sentient beings cling to deluded realms and cannot come to know the supreme nature; it does not brightly illuminate, etc."
