[60] Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other thing on account of which unarisen wholesome qualities (kusalā dhammā) arise, or arisen unwholesome qualities (akusalā dhammā) decline, so much as this, bhikkhus: heedfulness (appamāda). For one who is heedful, bhikkhus, unarisen wholesome qualities arise and arisen unwholesome qualities decline.
