The Resembling Apparent Reality as the Object of the Sixth Consciousness

When the mind apprehends form, it resembles an objective realm with substance, wherein the objective aspect arises within the six consciousnesses. This refers to the function of the six consciousnesses in perceiving form. The objective aspect manifests solely within the six consciousnesses and is not transmitted further, ending right there. Since it is already illusory and lacks substance, how could such an insubstantial phenomenon be transmitted further? In this world, what substantial facts or phenomena truly exist? Upon seeing through this, one immediately transcends in a single thought, and all returns to void and tranquility. From then on, all disturbances cease.
