The journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step

Mara

In the direction of the view, if conduct gets lost, the view goes to the tarnished state of Mara

In the direction of the view, if conduct gets lost, the view goes to the tarnished state of Mara. In the direction of conduct, if the view is lost, having become entangled by the hopes and fears of materialism and ideology, real liberation will never come and there is no way you can reach the level of the unified state.
