if you do things the same way according to some schedule and some effective method, you are likely not awake
the awakened behave differently in every circumstance simply because there is not a person there to do things, you can't attach a label or an attribute to the awakened, they are in fact nothing
consider the 36 opposites as listed in the platform sutta ... the awake are sometimes one thing sometimes the other depending on what the particular day demands
