ave heard: "Monks, a person without ardency, without compunction, is incapable of self-awakening, incapable of Unbinding, incapable of attaining the unsurpassed safety from bondage. A person ardent & compunctious is capable of self-awakening, capable of Unbinding, capable of attaining the unsurpassed safety from bondage." With no ardency, no compunction, lazy, with low persistence, full of sloth & drowsiness, shameless, without respect: heâs incapable, a monk like this, of touching superlative self-awakening. But whoever is mindful, masterful, absorbed in jhṅna, ardent, concerned, & heedful, cutting the fetter of birth & aging, touches right here a self-awakening un- surpassed. - --> - - - -
