|text=In chapter 4 Śāntideva addresses the topic of conscientiousness (Skt. ''apramādha''), sometimes also translated as carefulness, a mental factor whose function is to protect the mind from negative forms of action. It is a tool which allows us to meticulously examine our actions of body, speech, and mind, particularly within the perspective of what is to be taken up and what is to be avoided on the path. Conscientiousness helps us to be aware of when we are about to engage in negative actions, those actions that are faulty and unconstructive, both for ourselves and others.
