Suitable Substitution!

Good is Substitution of the 5 Hindrances with their opposites:

1: Desire (kāma-chanda) should be substituted with attention on disgust.

2: Anger (vyāpāda) should be substituted with universal friendliness.

3: Lethargy & laziness (thīna-middha) should be substituted with energy.

4: Restlessness & regret (uddhacca-kukkucca) should be substituted with calm.

5: Skeptical doubt (vicikicchā) should be substituted with examination.

Substitution of the hindrances works exactly as long, as one is Aware of it...
Momentary suppression of the hindrances can be obtained during Meditation...
Irreversible elimination by cut-off is achieved only, when attaining Nobility...
