How to Accord with and Enter into the Principle

The five aggregates, the eighteen realms, and the twelve entrances all arise from the convergence of various conditions; when the conditions disperse, they vanish. How is one to realize and accord with this principle? The mind consciousness can think it over and gain a rough understanding, yet you yourself also know that this is not true comprehension; you still need to deeply and definitively understand its meaning, with sound reasoning and evidence. This requires that, within meditative concentration (samādhi), you suspend this principle in your mind, letting the manas deliberate single-mindedly, deliberating continuously and meticulously at every moment. The manas's deliberation is hidden, continuous, and unattached to sense objects; it has a certain height and depth—this is called viewing from a high vantage point.
