Monitoring mindfulness involves a constant awareness of the wholesomeness in the mind, akin to a treasurer who tracks the assets of an emperor.

Discretional mindfulness parallels the role of a commander in chief, requiring vigilance over potential threats and benefits within one's environment. It emphasizes the need for awareness in decision-making, maintaining a focus that aligns with positive outcomes.
