The 3 obstacles to effort

Procrastination

Attachment yo what is non-virtuous or meaningless

Discouragement

\xa0

The toxins multiply\xa0

For the insolent and negligent\xa0

Who reject what they should do\xa0

And do instead what they should not.\xa0

\xa0

But the toxins come to an end\xa0

For those who are mindful and alert,\xa0

Who are constantly well-engaged\xa0

With mindfulness of the body,\xa0

Who don\u2019t resort to what they should not do\xa0

But persist in doing what they should. (292\u2013293)
