Sit up! Whatâs your need for sleep? And what sleep is there for the afflicted, pierced by the arrow, oppressed? Get up! Sit up! Train firmly for the sake of peace. Donât let the king of death, —seeing you heedless— deceive you, bring you under his sway. Cross over the attachment to which human & heavenly beings remain,     desiring, tied. Donât let the moment pass by. Those for whom the moment is past grieve, consigned to hell. Heedlessness is dust, dust comes from heedlessness, has heedlessness on its heels. Through heedfulness & clear knowing youâd remove your own arrow. vv. 331–334 See also: Dhp 21–32; Dhp 315; SN 3:17; SN 36:6; AN 4:37; Thag 1:84; Thag 2:37 - --> - - - -
