Or even if one knows [the means], one does not make an effort, thinking it impossible for mental cultivation to reach the highest perfection - as if by a [single] leap - either due to the fixed nature of excellence or due to the impossibility of [future] births; or even granting that mental cultivation could reach the highest perfection and that the defects could be destroyed through the arising of their opposites, still, thinking that the defects might arise again like the hardness of copper and other metals, one does not begin the effort - thus the lack of desire [for liberation] is not yet established.
