Though they have received a life, they have no will to pursue the Dharma
for the Dharma's sake, and so, when they meet the real Dharma they doubt
the real dragon, and when they meet the right Dharma they are disliked by
the right Dharma.

Question:

Why do those who have received a life not pursue the Dharma for its sake and doubt the real Dharma when they encounter it?

Answer (optional):

Those who have received a life do not pursue the Dharma for its sake and doubt the real Dharma when they encounter it because of the bad deeds they have done in past ages. Their body, mind, bones, and flesh have never lived following the Dharma, and so they are not in mutual accord with the Dharma. They do not receive and use it in harmony with the Dharma. This has been transmitted through founders of sects, teachers, and disciples for a long time, causing them to be disconnected from the true Dharma.
