________________ SUTRAS HOW TO DISSOLVE KARMA 147 'routine-time' should count less than 'first-class' time does not influence the karmic processes in the least - none of their karmic effects will be milder because of this attitude. If we perform routine actions with the same precision and attention we usually devote to 'more important' events, we reduce the binding of new karmic matter significantly. Even if this additional alertness initially feels uncomfortable or even ridiculous, it will - after only a short time - produce an increased liveliness in all areas of life. Once we experience this, any previous distinction between firstclass and second-class time becomes entirely irrelevant.
