Energy (Viriya) is a Link to Awakening!


The Energy Link to Awakening (Viriya-sambojjhanga) is basically the
same
mental property (viriya-cetasika), as that which performs any
effort of action and which also is inherently included in the:
The Energy Feet of Force (viriyiddhipāda)
The Ability of Energy (viriyindriya)
The Power of Energy (viriyabala)
The Right Effort Path Factor (sammā-vāyāma-magganga)
When trained, developed and aroused energy is capable of enlightening!


The Buddha once said: What mental fermentations (āsava) should be
overcome
by development? If a Bhikkhu by careful & rational attention
develops the Energy Link to Awakening based on seclusion, disillusion,
ceasing, & culminating in relinquishment, then neither can any mental
fermentation, nor any fever, or discontent ever arise in him. MN2 [i 11]
In one who examines, finds out why, & comes to assured comprehension,
in
him his energy link to awakening becomes aroused. He develops it,
&
for him it goes to the culmination of its development. MN118 [iii 85]

The ability of energy is to initiate, launch into action and to complete any
undertaking
using persistent endurance. When this ability becomes
unshakable and unfailing, it then becomes the mighty Power of Energy!
The function of energy is this four-fold Right Effort of:
1: Eradicating evil & disadvantageous states that have arisen in the mind.
2: Preventing the arising of yet unarisen disadvantageous mental states.
3: Initiating and developing yet unarisen advantageous mental states.
4: Increasing, refining & completing already arisen advantageous states.
The characteristic of energy is readiness, willingness, enthusiastic ease,
eager and keen vigour. The manifestation of energy is action, exertion,
endeavour
, industry, struggle, powerful striving and accomplishment!


Lazy:
The one, who does not rise, when it is time to rise.
Who though young and strong, is weak in mind,
soft
in will, and lazy by nature, such slow one
does never find the way to Nibbāna.
Dhammapada 280

Get up! Sit up!
Of what use are your dreams?
How can you sleep, when sick,
stabbed
by the arrow of craving...
Sutta Nipāta 331

Get up! Sit up!
Push on your training, until reaching sole peace!
Do not let the king of death see you sloppy and
thus
delude and dominate you like a toy doll...
Sutta Nipāta 332
Feeding the Energy:
And what, friends, is feeding the Energy Link to Enlightenment, that
has not yet arisen, and food too for boosting of any present Energy?
1: The element of mental initiative,
2
: The element of launching into action,
3: The element of enduring persistence.
Systematic attention to these, is feeding any yet unarisen Energy
Link
to Awakening, and food too for boosting any present Energy.
Samyutta Nikāya XLVI 51 Bojjhanga-samyutta
Fivefold final Energy:
Following the Buddha the energy in the disciple culminates, when he
finally thinks: Let just this blood and flesh dry up & wither away so only
skin, sinews and bones remain, I will not give up my quest and stray from
this Noble 8-fold Path before having reached Enlightenment...!
