59. “Bhikkhus, I do not know of a single thing more helpful than heedful attentiveness, which causes the arising of good and beneficial states that were absent, while at the same time, obliterating all the evil qualities of the heart that had already arisen and were present, by pushing them away, into oblivion.

“Therefore, by living an attentive life with diligence, your beneficial qualities will increase, while your damaging ones will dwindle and disappear.”
