SOURCE OF ILLUMINATION (165) The ignorant cannot destroy their Karmas by their actions while the wise can do it by their inaction i.e.by controlling their activities because they are free from greed and lustful passions and do not commit any sin as they remain contented.
(166) There is fear from every direction for an invigilant person; while there is no fear for a person who is vigilant.
(167) An idle person can never be happy and a sleepy person can never acquire knowledge. A person with attachments cannot acquire renunciation and he who is violent cannot acquire compassion.
(168) Oh: human beings; always be vigilant. He who is alert gains more and more knowledge. He who is invigilant is not blessed. Ever blessed is he who is vigilant.
(169) A compassionate person who is always cautious while lifting and putting a thing, while urinating and excreting, and while sitting, moving and sleeping, is really a follower of nonviolence.
