[1550] Sakavādin: Does the wholesome root (kusala-mūla) re-link (paṭisandahati) with the unwholesome root (akusala-mūla)?
Paravādin: Yes.
Sk.: Is the adverting (āvajjanā) … aspiration (paṇidhi) that is for the arising of the unwholesome (akusala) the very adverting … aspiration for the arising of the wholesome (kusala)?
P.: It should not be said so. …
Sk.: The wholesome root re-links with the unwholesome root, and yet it should not be said that the adverting … aspiration that is for the arising of the unwholesome is the very adverting … aspiration for the arising of the wholesome?
P.: Yes.
Sk.: Does the wholesome arise for one who is not adverting … arise for one who is not aspiring?
P.: It should not be said so. …
Sk.: Does the wholesome arise for one who is adverting … arise for one who is aspiring?
P.: Yes.
Sk.: If the wholesome arises for one who is adverting … arises for one who is aspiring, then indeed you should not say: "The wholesome root re-links with the unwholesome root."
