"The statement of those who hold other views is this: those who harbor hatred in their minds towards any living beings, their minds are not pure, free from impurities and faults. Their assertion that there is no sin in harboring hatred in the mind is false and untrue. They are not those who follow the path of restraint."
"Commentary: The author now refutes this claim. Those who harbor hatred in their minds, their intention is to kill, therefore their minds are not pure. Their claim that there is no sin in merely harboring hatred is false, because they are not those who follow the path of restraint, as their minds are impure. The mind is the primary cause of karmic accumulation, as even they have stated that there is no karmic accumulation in mere physical actions without the involvement of the mind. Therefore, whatever is the primary cause of something happening or not happening, that is the primary cause. It may be argued that even without physical actions, there is no cause. This is true, but it is also true that the mind is the primary cause, as it is said, "By purifying the mind, one attains liberation." It is also said, "The mind is the cause of samsara, filled with attachments and other afflictions. Is it possible to be liberated from this mind?" It is also said, "O mind, I bow to you, for even though you are equal to all, you are the cause of both good and bad. Some are destined for hell, while others are destined for heaven, depending on the good or bad karma they have accumulated." Thus, it is clear that the mind is the cause of karmic bondage. Even if one does not act on their thoughts, the mind is still impure, and this leads to karmic bondage. If one acts on their thoughts, then it is due to lack of mindfulness, and this also leads to karmic bondage. It is said, "Even in a dream, if the mind is impure, there is karmic bondage. This is also accepted by you, as you have said, "That which is unseen is impure." Thus, even a single impure thought leads to karmic bondage. Therefore, what you have said, "Knowledge of living beings," etc., is all false. What you have said, "Son, father, beginning," etc., is also not well-considered, because as long as there is no change in the mind, no one kills. And how can the mind be pure if it has changed? Karmic bondage is inevitable when the mind is impure. This is the contradiction here. What you have said, "Eating the flesh of another who has been killed by another, or being burned by a hot coal that has been picked up by another, does not have any karmic consequences," is like the ramblings of a madman, and should not be listened to. Because, even if one eats the flesh of another who has been killed by another, they are still consenting to it, and this leads to karmic bondage. It is also said, "Those who consent, those who kill, those who buy and sell, those who process, those who consume, and those who kill, are all eight types of killers." The three types of consent, which you have mentioned, are nothing but the enjoyment of the fruits of the actions of others. Thus, those who claim that there is no karmic accumulation in these four types of actions, are ignorant of karma. This is a well-established principle."
