"Quality" (zhi) refers to material form with physical obstruction, composed of the seeds of the four great elements. The real seeds of the four great elements constitute the five sense objects; the subjectively imagined realm that arises in dependence on the five sense objects is called a "subjectively imagined realm with quality," while the subjectively imagined realm unrelated to the five sense objects belongs to the "subjectively imagined realm without quality." What the consciousness accompanied by the five senses corresponds to is the subjectively imagined realm with quality, and what the solitary consciousness corresponds to is the subjectively imagined realm without quality. Recollection is, of course, the mind consciousness alone recalling things that have already passed; the corresponding dharma sense-object subjectively imagined realm does not involve the five sense objects, and that is the subjectively imagined realm without quality.
