Piyavadana

As is understood by the distinction between aspiring to go and (actually) going, so the wise understand in turn the distinction between the two.

Although great fruits occur in cyclic existence from the mind that aspires to awaken, an uninterrupted flow of merit does not ensue as it does with the venturing mind.

Shantideva
