VIGILANCE

Vigilance means to be awake, to be on guard, to be sincere - never to be taken by surprise. When you want to do sadhana, at every moment of your life there is a choice between taking a step that leads to the goal and falling asleep or sometimes even going backwards, telling yourself, "Oh, later on, not immediately" — sitting down on the way.
