Discourse on Sleepiness and Sloth

      17. (The deva said:)

      "Sleepiness, sloth, lethargy, lack of interest (in doing meritorious deeds) and drowsiness after meals---when these (five moral weaknesses) are driven sway by Right Effort,' the Ariya Path becomes pure."

End of the Niddatandi Sutta,
the sixth in this vagga.

      * driven away by Right Effort: The Ariya Path of Eight Constituents prescribed by the Buddha includes Right Effort. When one makes the Right Effort, the five types of laziness disappear and thus Magga Insight is attained.
