Effort
Description:
The quality on which all auspicious qualities depend, true effort involves fulfilling and accomplishing virtues; and is contrasted with striving to accomplish affairs in this lifetime, which is simply lazy attachment to bad action. It may be one of five types: [armouring], or the prior willingness to engage in virtue; [application], or the mental delight of carrying out that practice; [non-inferiority], the delight in not questioning one's ability to do such actions; [irreversibility], the delight which prevents circumstances from impeding the practice; and [non-satisfaction], which spurs one on to greater virtues and is not satisfied with achieving the smaller.Context:
