Awareness is the secret sutra of spiritual practice.
The same action and yet difference in results.
Alert action involves less bondage.
With careless action there is greater bondage.
So the reason for the same action leading to less or greater bondage is alertness or carelessness.
Therefore Mahavira said, always be alert not careless.
To remain alert it is necessary to resolve to be so.
If the resolve is not strong then the mist of carelessness will begin to spread.
The objective is to be alert and to be alert is also the resolve.
Viewing the sky (Akash darshall) helps bring alertness to life.
