The Interfunctioning Relationship among the Manas, the Mind Consciousness, and the Tathāgatagarbha

When I resolve to make good use of the manas, at the very moment the mind consciousness utters this sentence, the manas has already decided thus, which is why the mind consciousness expressed it so resolutely. When the mind consciousness wants to make use of the manas, does the manas know that the mind consciousness wants to make use of it? For beginningless kalpas, we have in fact been constantly making use of the manas, and the manas has likewise been making use of the tathāgatagarbha and the mind consciousness—only, neither side is aware of it. If one were to know it, that wisdom would be extraordinary.
