So with the thought “If I don’t achieve calm abiding, there is no way to achieve the path,” generate faith that sees the benefits of calm abiding. That faith induces an aspiration that strives to produce calm abiding. On that basis, one generates enthusiasm. On the basis of generating enthusiasm, one achieves the pliancy in which the body and mind can be utilized for virtue however one wishes. These four — faith, aspiration, enthusiasm, and pliancy — are the antidotes to laziness.
