The Seer Shakes Off Good and Evil
When the seer beholds that radiant source, the womb of all — the wise one, shaking off good and ill, becomes spotless and reaches the highest evenness.
Am I so bound to weighing right and wrong that I forget the clear, even place beyond it?
📝Reflection
This verse's 'shaking off good and evil' does not mean ignoring right and wrong. It speaks of freedom from the endless self-judgment — the weighing of 'I did this much well and that much badly.' We often exhaust ourselves setting past faults and achievements alternately on the scale. To see the source is to set down that scale for a while and stand in a spotless, quiet place. A level mind with neither self-reproach nor self-conceit — only on that clearness does the next step grow light.
🌱Apply It Today
When the scale of self-reproach or conceit starts today, set it down and think, 'For now, just clearly, the next step.'
This verse is read as universal humanistic wisdom, not religion — no faith is promoted, and the reflection is 100% original ONGO content.
