@daverupa - I prefer reading commentaries, explanations and elaboration on the various discourses of the Nikayas rather than reading the actual discourses itself. It is just a personal preference I guess.

This sankhara is an obstruction.

Dutthatthaka Sutta

"One whose doctrines aren't clean —
fabricated, formed, given preference
when he sees it to his own advantage —
relies on a peace
dependent
on what can be shaken.

Because entrenchments in views
aren't easily overcome
when considering what's grasped
among doctrines,
that's why
a person embraces or rejects a doctrine —
in light of these very
entrenchments."
