A mendicant who meditates in this way can expect one of two results: enlightenment in this very life, or if there\u2019s residue left behind, non-return.\u201d The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said: \u201cListen up, wakeful ones! And those asleep, wake up! Wakefulness is better than sleep, the wakeful have nothing to fear. Those who are wakeful, mindful and aware, immersed in sam\u0101dhi, joyful and clear, rightly investigating the Dhamma in good time, at one, would banish the darkness. That\u2019s why you should apply yourself to wakefulness. A keen and alert mendicant, possessing absorption, having cut the fetter of birth and old age, would experience supreme awakening <j>in this very life.\u201d This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.","title":"Wake Up","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":166}
