What indicates that one has understood something about the nature of mind?
Just as smoke indicates the presence of fire, so does one's attitude indicate
the presence of true understanding. With deeper understanding one's attention
and attachment to the eight worldly dharmas diminishes. Obsessive attachment
or aversion to these false dharmas disappears.
