About this episode
The 3 obstacles to effort Procrastination Attachment yo what is non-virtuous or meaningless Discouragement The toxins multiply For the insolent and negligent Who reject what they should do And do instead what they should not. But the toxins come to an end For those who are mindful and alert, Who are constantly well-engaged With mindfulness of the body, Who don't resort to what they should not do But persist in doing what they should.
