Original text:如是于修。勤修习者。于时时间应正观察。所有烦恼已断未断。于时时间。于可厌法深心厌离。于时时间。于可欣法深心欣慕。如是名为摄乐作意。彼即于此摄乐作意。亲近修习。多修习故。有能无余永断。修道所断烦恼。最后学位。喻如金刚三摩地生。由此生故。便能永断修道所断一切烦恼。

Explanation: For one who is able to diligently cultivate in this way of practice, at all times one should correctly observe whether all afflictions have already been eliminated or not yet eliminated; at all times, toward the phenomena that are to be loathed, one should deeply loathe and depart from them; at all times, toward the phenomena that are to be rejoiced in, one should deeply rejoice in and yearn for them. This is called the mental engagement of gathering joy (摄乐作意). The practitioner, by drawing near to and cultivating this mental engagement of gathering joy, and cultivating it repeatedly, is able to eliminate once and for all, without remainder, all the afflictions to be eliminated through the path of cultivation; thus the final stage of learning is born—this stage is likened to the vajra meditative concentration (samādhi). Because this final stage of learning is born, one is able to eliminate forever all the afflictions to be eliminated through the path of cultivation.
