>As for motivation to overcome comfortable "vices", I'll bet your karma

Since Buddha defined karma as motive, will or volition (cetanaa), our
motives are our karma.  If there is no motive of Right Effort, then there
is no Karma to take care of us.  Conversely, if our motive is weak,
sporadic or non-existent in dealing with our animal nature, then our
karma will be indifference or hostility to dealing with it.  This pattern
takes many lives to form.

What is the source of the quote?  Does it mean the Bodhisattva will save us?
