Vigilance vs the oppressive checker-guy

We've been talking about these spiritual paradoxes, effortless, versus fully devoted. Vigilance, and yet not concern, it can sound strange, how does one be fully vigilant and yet effortless? So what is the difference between being vigilant and the checker guy? The checker guy is the most oppressive, especially in the lives of spiritual seekers where everything it hears inside some, then it wants to create a food card and keep checking, am I doing like this, am I doing well, am I doing badly?
