Now, in order to show that active craving in reverse order as well, he resumed the teaching, beginning again with: “On account of safeguarding.” Therein, “sensual craving” is craving for sights and so on that arises by way of lust for the five strands of sensual pleasure. “Craving for existence” is lust accompanied by the eternalist view. “Craving for non-existence” is lust accompanied by the annihilationist view. “These two dhammas”: the craving that is the root of the cycle of existence and active craving—these are the two dhammas. “In a duality”: though they have arrived at oneness by way of the characteristic of craving, by way of the root of the cycle of existence and active [craving] they converge into one feeling by two parts; the meaning is: they have a single condition through the condition of feeling. For convergence is threefold: convergence by descent, simultaneous convergence, and conditional convergence. Therein: “Then all of them converge into desire”—this is called convergence by descent. “These dhammas, friends, have desire as their root, contact as their origin, and feeling as their convergence”—this is called simultaneous convergence. But “In a duality they converge into one feeling” should be understood as conditional convergence.
