Whenever withdrawn in body and withdrawn in mind one reflects on the Buddha-Dhamma,
then the Awareness Link to Awakening arise and develop. Thus aware one examines that!

Whenever examining a mental state, then the Investigation Link to Awakening arise and
develop. While thus being curious & enthusiastically investigating, keen energy is aroused!

Whenever energy is aroused in one who is enthusiastic, then the Energy Link to Awakening
arise and develop. While energetic & enthusiastic one succeeds: Therefore Joy is born!

Whenever succeeding in enthusiastic joy, then the Joy Link to Awakening arise & develop.
One thus joyous becomes mentally satisfied and therefore calmed both in body and mind!

Whenever calmed in body & mind, then the Tranquillity Link to Awakening arise & develop.
One thus satisfied, calmed, serene, settled & tranquil in both body & mind becomes happy!

Whenever calmed & comfortable in body & tranquil & happy in mind, then the Concentration
Link to Awakening arise & develop. Concentrated one reviews all rationally and reasonably!

Whenever one well balanced reviews all mental states rationally and reasonably, then the
Equanimity Link to Awakening arise & develop. In Equanimity one knows & sees things right.

It is in this very way that the seven Links to Awakening develop sequentially, one after the
other; successively one leading to & producing the next...
