By the inference of Mind, imo, i point to an individual mind that an individual mind identifies with as an individual mind, this would be conditionally 'false', in that this individual mind has a false sense of reality about itself as an individual mind. That this individual mind may be used to detach if you will itself away from its false sense of reality about itself as an individual mind would appear to form the basis of Buddhist, in particular Ch'an cultivation.The 'true' Mind would imply Mind having removed the false sense of itself as individual mind to become simply Mind. There's no moral or eschatological implications in this.
