*“BODHISATTVAS FEAR CAUSES, SENTIENT BEINGS FEAR EFFECTS”*
In cultivation, we should focus our efforts on the “cause” rather than to pray for the impending “effect”: “Bodhisattvas fear causes, sentient beings fear effects”.
Bodhisattvas would have contemplated on the effects of the deeds prior to committing it, whereas sentient beings carelessly commit causal actions without properly realising its retribution. When the effects occur later, they will suffer and start to pray for Bodhisattva’s blessing. That being said, we should focus our efforts on the "causes" rather than fervently praying for favorable "effects" to come about.
