On the reciprocal interaction of the three dharmas: An objection states: 'The new actual [dharma] arises from the seed, and the actual [dharma] can immediately perfume. If the new seed is produced by the actual [dharma], the new seed should immediately give rise to the actual [dharma].' Answer: The actual [dharma] meets superior conditions, so the new actual [dharma] can immediately perfume; the new seed lacks superior conditions, so it cannot immediately produce the actual [dharma]. Another explanation: The new actual [dharma] has increased force and power; as soon as it arises, it perfumes the seed. The new seed lacks superior activity, hence it does not immediately produce the actual [dharma]. Another explanation: Seeds do not mutually conflict; arising as the actual [dharma], it immediately perfumes. The fruition substance and characteristics of seed and actual [dharma] are reciprocal, so returning from seed does not immediately produce the actual [dharma]. Objection: 'Sensation and sensation, etc., conflict with seeds and do not immediately produce the actual [dharma]; but many forms (rūpa) can arise together, so the new seed should immediately produce [them].' Answer: The new actual [dharma] arises because conditions are complete, from which the seed is able to be produced; the new seed has not yet completed its conditions, so the actual form does not immediately arise.
