The Wise Work for the World, Without Attachment
The unwise work bound to results; the wise do the same work but unattached — only for the good of the world.
Do I narrow my work to myself alone, or widen it, even a little, toward the good of the world?
📝Reflection
In this verse I learn that non-attachment is not a coldness that turns its back on the world. The wise work just as hard as the unwise, but the direction of their heart differs — aimed not at their own single gain but at the good of the many. The old teacher nails down that releasing attachment is not indifference but working with a wider heart. I look back at whether today's work stays locked in myself, or carries a direction that helps even one other person.
