What Does It Mean to Be Without Discrimination?

The non-discriminative nature of the tathāgatagarbha is very difficult for the seven consciousnesses to achieve. To approach the non-discriminative state of the tathāgatagarbha—that is, the mindless state of the seven consciousnesses. When the seven consciousnesses are without mind, they are indifferent to all dharmas and no longer take them to heart. Looking as if one had not seen, hearing as if one had not heard, with no opposition of self and others, no disputes or gossip, regardless of good or bad, true or false, not attaching to the realms of the six sense objects. 

However, even in this state, discrimination has still occurred—knowing that this is form, that is sound, that is scent, recognizing you, me, him, and her, with names and concepts having arisen. This still differs from the non-discriminative state of the tathāgatagarbha, which knows nothing of such things and has no names or concepts. After all, since the types of consciousnesses are different, their functions and roles cannot be the same.
