Mindfulness is a spiritual or psychological state considered to be of great importance in the path to enlightenment. Correct or "right" mindfulness is a state of being in which greed, hatred and delusion have been overcome, abandoned, and are absent from the mind. It is an attentive awareness of the reality of things, especially of the present moment. It can be an antidote to delusion and is considered, as such, a 'power' (Pali: bala). Mindfulness becomes a power in particular when it is coupled with clear comprehension of whatever is taking place.
