[68] Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other thing by which unarisen wholesome qualities (kusalā dhammā) arise and arisen unwholesome qualities (akusalā dhammā) decline so much as this, bhikkhus: careful attention (yoniso manasikāra). Bhikkhus, for one who attends carefully, unarisen wholesome qualities arise and arisen unwholesome qualities decline.
