‘Constant abidings’ means the habitual abidings of one whose cankers are destroyed. ‘Having seen a form with the eye’: when the object has entered the avenue at the eye-door, having seen that form with eye-consciousness, at the moment of javana, not lusting for what is agreeable, he is neither elated; not hating what is disagreeable, nor is he dejected. Not producing delusion when there is non-investigation, he abides equanimous, neutral; mindful because of being endowed with mindfulness, clearly comprehending because of being endowed with clear comprehension. In the remaining terms the method is just the same. Thus, by ‘he abides equanimous at all six doors,’ six-factored equanimity is spoken of. However, by the word ‘clearly comprehending,’ four consciousnesses associated with knowledge are obtained. By the word ‘constant abidings,’ all eight great consciousnesses are obtained; by the words ‘not lusting, not hating,’ all ten consciousnesses are obtained. If it is asked: ‘How is gladness obtained?’, it is obtained through habitual cultivation.
