74. “Bhikkhus, I do not know of a single thing that is more sinister than possessing unwise or wrong attention, as a result of which the Factors of Awakening that may have not yet arisen, will never get the opportunity to awaken and grow, let alone become fully developed or reach their fullest potential of accomplishment, thus remaining unripe and undeveloped.

“Therefore, Bhikkhus, by living with unwise and wrong attention, the unarisen Factors of Awakening will remain dormant and never come to their full development or fruition.”
