| English | Indeed, otherwise, if there were no light of samādhi and no vision with the eye of wisdom, the yogin’s doubt regarding the existence of material form and the rest could never be settled—just as in the case of a man stuck down in a dark well in relation to pots and other items in a house. And because that doubt would remain, the yogin's irrational attachment to false material forms and so forth would (also) continue—just as is true of someone with the flaw of an uncured eye disease (timira). It couldn't be stopped by anything. |
