The Five powers—confidence, energetic application, alert presence, meditative attention, and intelligent discernment—are the foundation of awakening intent and activity. Practitioners do not indulge doubt in the teacher or the methods of practice. They are not lazy or slovenly in their approach to practice or with life circumstances. Practitioners do not take the easier and less demanding option that may disadvantage others. They are never satisfied with good enough or fail to fully engage with any activity. The riders of Mind Training never switch off, but always embrace responsibility for their own conduct, and the responsibility to help others.
