【The Meditation Session – what to do in between sessions 】- Acting with vigilance - The foundations upon which you act

So the text follows by telling us to act with vigilance. For those things that we need to do, though the aforementioned restraint of the sensory faculties is not quite clear [to us yet], the author then tells us: toward those you already know, understand what is flawlessly accurate and follow it to engage in whatever is appropriate. At this time, not only will it be free of contamination, but it will also increase your merits, so there is nothing to worry about! Hence, let’s take a look, next:

【Acting with vigilance】

There are two parts.

【i) The foundations upon which you act. ii) Acting vigilantly with respect to the foundations】

This has two parts, with regard to acting with vigilance; to “act” is to engage in situations. So for whatever things you are supposed to do, this you have to find out first – do what should be done and what is right, refrain from what shouldn’t be done and what is wrong. This is the first discernment.

修持轨理 - 未修中间 : 正知而行-何为所行事

所以他下面告诉我们正知而行，对于我们该做的事情，而前面这个密护根门当中没有弄清楚的，他下面告诉我们：对于你所知道的事情，了解怎样是正确无误的，照着你所了解的正确无误的方法去做。这个时候它不但不是染污，而且是增长你的功德，那就不怕了嘛！所以下面我们看，下面的:

【正知而行者有二，】

两样东西。

【何为所行事，于彼行正知。】

这个分两方面。说正知而行，“行”是做事情。那么你要做的什么事情，这个你首先要弄清楚，该做的、对的去做；不该做的、不对的不要做。这个第一个分别。
