摩訶止觀 4.142

4.142

○觀心呵五欲者，如色欲中滋味無量，謂常無常、我無我、淨不淨、苦樂、空有、世第一義，皆是滋味。故《大論》云：「色中無味相，凡夫不應著。」若謂色是常，是見依色；若色無常、亦常亦無常、非常非無常，是見皆依色。乃至非如去非不如去、非邊非無邊等，是見皆依於色。悉是諍競，執謂是實，戲論破智慧眼，互相是非，為色造業。適有此有，即有生死；如是觀者，增長於欲，非是呵欲。

Contemplating the mind to reprove the five desires: within the desire for forms there are immeasurable flavors—namely, permanent and impermanent, self and non-self, pure and impure, suffering and pleasure, empty and existent, and worldly and ultimate truth—all of which are flavors. Thus the *Great Treatise* says: "Within forms there are no characteristics of flavor; ordinary beings should not cling to them." If one says that forms are permanent, this view is based on forms; if forms are impermanent, both permanent and impermanent, or neither permanent nor impermanent, these views are all based on forms. Up to neither going as such nor not going as such, neither bounded nor boundless, and so on—these views are all based on forms. All are disputations; grasping them, one claims they are real, and conceptual elaboration destroys the eye of wisdom. Mutually affirming and denying, one creates karma on account of forms. As soon as there is this existence, there is birth and death. One who contemplates like this increases desire; it is not reproving desire.
