68. “Bhikkhus, I do not know of a single thing that is more perilous than not having full awareness (asampajañña), as a result of which evil and damaging states that were once absent suddenly appear and proliferate, while at the same time, the once present good and beneficial qualities of the heart disappear into oblivion.

“Therefore, Bhikkhus, if you live while lacking in full awareness, then you will only see your harmful and evil qualities increase, whereas your beneficial ones will vanish and disappear.”
