What Is Called Deliberateness

Deliberate effort is when the mind consciousness suppresses the manas, subdues the manas, regulates the manas, permeates the manas, motivates the manas, guides the manas, and admonishes the manas. At this time, the manas has not yet been permeated and has not developed good habits. Once the manas has been successfully permeated and has developed good habits, the old ox, having become obedient, will change its ox temper. Then the mind consciousness will no longer need to manage the manas, suppress the manas, or subdue the manas; there will be no need to deliberately do anything anymore. One can simply accord with the manas's good habits and will not transgress the rules.
