【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- do you really hope to generate the spirit of enlightenment?

【 Relying upon this spirit of enlightenment, you will easily achieve the final aims, liberation and omniscience. 】

What is the final aim? It is omniscience, an unsurpassed benefit. It still relies on this spirit to have easy achievement.

【 From the outset you must have an uncontrived aspiration that seeks to attain these final and temporary benefits. If you do not have this, you might say, “I will strive to develop this spirit” on account of those benefits that arise from developing the spirit of enlightenment, but it will be mere words. 】

Let’s take a look at this next statement. For the two above, regardless of whether it is for the laudable benefits of the present high-status or the final certain-goodness, suppose you did not have an attitude of sincere admiration and hope in the past. If you didn’t have it, what would the situation be? Although we hear about it now and say, “Ah! All these benefits arise from the aspiration, well, I must work hard to generate this aspiration.” Even though you say these words verbally, this is only empty talk – “mere words.”

道次引导 : 有真实仰望发心吗？

【毕竟利义者，谓诸解脱及一切种智，亦依此心易于成办。】

究竟利益是什么呢？就是说这个一切种智，无上的好处，还是依这个心，很容易就能够成就。

【若于现时毕竟胜利，先无真实欲得乐故，虽作是言，此诸胜利从发心生，故应励力发起此心，亦唯空言。】

下面这句话，看一下。假定说，关于上面这两个，不管是眼前的增上生也好，以及究竟的决定胜，这个殊胜的利益，假定说先前并没有真实想仰望、期望的这种意乐。如果没有的话，怎么状态呢？虽然我们现在听见了，说“啊！这样的胜利都从发心开始的，嗯，这个要努力去发。”尽管你嘴巴上面这么讲，但是这个也只是嘴巴上面讲讲而已，“亦唯空言”。.
