Energy
Boosts Advantageous Right Effort!
By energy, one strives and struggles, thus is it enthusiastic effort.
Any advantageous exertion of
any good endeavour is a right effort.
By Energy, one works in the right direction, thus is it right effort.
This Energy is Right, because it eliminates all the ugly and evil mentalities!
Energy is Effort, because it brings the progress of
all well-being and bliss!
Thus is it Right Effort... It is a name for Energy...
Viriya!
Energetic
Right Effort achieves these four functions:
1: Elimination of already arisen detrimental mental states!
2: Preventing the arising of detrimental states,
that have not yet arisen!
3: Initiation of advantageous mental states,
that have not yet arisen!
4: Maintenance and expansion of already arisen advantageous mental states!
Thus is it fourfold. That is why it is called the 4 right efforts...
