     The 7 Links to Awakening Link & Lead to Awakening?

They lead to & produce enlightenment, in this way are they links to awakening:
They are themselves enlightened, in this way are they links to awakening.
They are enlightened, since they embrace the root cause of awakening.
They are enlightened, since they provide & equip the root cause of awakening.
They are enlightened, since they induce ripening of the root cause of awakening.
They are enlightened, since they promote distinction of the root cause of awakening.
They are enlightened, since they completely perfect the root cause of awakening.

How do the Seven Links to Awakening remain stably established & anchored in mind?
The Awareness link remains by arising of other states not being given attention.
The Awareness link remains by non-arising of
attention being given to other states.
The Awareness link remains by
no attention being given to occurrence of other states.
The Awareness link remains by
attention being given to non-occurrence of other states.
The Awareness link remains by the sign not being adverted to nor being given attention.
The Awareness link remains by the sign-less state being given constant & steady attention.
The Awareness link remains by
no attention being given to any kind of mental construction.
The Awareness link remains
by full attention being given to ceasing of all kinds of craving.
The Awareness link to Awakening indeed remains fixed & anchored in mind in these 8 ways.
Exactly and similarly so with the other six links to Awakening.

The Awareness link falls away, by non-occurrence of other states, not being given attention.
The Awareness link falls away, by the sign-less state, not being given attention.
The Awareness link falls away, by the sign being given too much attention.
The Awareness link falls away, by ceasing not being given any attention.
