大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 65.25

65.25

In the commentary, "However, the above two links encompass both active manifestations and seeds": when the link of craving initially arises, it is an active manifestation, and in that very thought-moment it perfumes consciousness into seeds. Depending on this seed of craving, grasping arises, and grasping is an active manifestation. Therefore, the sūtra says that the increase of craving becomes grasping; and below, when harmonizing with the four conditions, where craving has a causal condition (hetu-pratyaya) toward grasping, it is because the seed of craving increases to form grasping, grasping being the active manifestation of the seed of craving. Hence, they are the same greed: the initial mind is craving, and its intensification is called grasping. This very seed of craving is itself the seed of grasping; therefore, both links encompass both seeds and active manifestations.
