344. “And, Bhikkhus, those beings who, having the sense of urgency within their hearts, immediately go to work and apply themselves wisely, with sufficient effort and without any delay, are truly far few in number compared to those countless other beings, who although might have a sense of urgency, nevertheless, they let it wither and die in the absence of wisdom, by neither applying themselves nor putting in genuine effort, to grant life to that sense of urgency.”
