Investigating in this manner, seeking lustful desire in the four propositions of before-desire cannot be apprehended; one does not even see a mind of lustful desire that neither arises nor does not arise, let alone arising. Although there is this investigation, the mind of desire may be coarse and vigorous, or perhaps before one investigates, the mind of lustful desire has already reached the point of actively arising. Even so, if the body does not create external objects, it is called "active." It is merely an arising thought investigated so that it does not arise; therefore, one must again use sixteen propositions to seek active desire within lustful desire, and it can never be apprehended. Why? This active arising necessarily relies on the arising of desire; therefore, investigating the arising of desire, seeking the active \[desire\] cannot be apprehended.
