4.42

[Treatise:] "Relying on these two meanings [...] inspiring the resolve and engaging in practice." [Commentary:] This reveals functional efficacy. Relying on the meaning of these intrinsically existent causes of cognitive objects and cognition, it constantly perfumes sentient beings. Because the perfuming is potent, it can cause sentient beings [to generate] two kinds of mind: the disgust with suffering and rejoicing in bliss is the mind of the two vehicles; self-faith in one's own nature is the mind of the bodhisattva. Each, according to their aspiration, generates the mind and cultivates all practices.
