Nothing Purifies Like Wisdom
Nothing in this world purifies like wisdom; one ripened by long practice comes to find that wisdom within.
When my mind grows murky, what do I cleanse it with — covering it with stimulation, or clearing it with learning?
📝Reflection
In this verse I learn what true purification is. A murky mind is not cleared by covering it with fresh stimulation, but is washed only by the wisdom that sees rightly. And that wisdom is not bought from outside; it is found within, at the end of long practice. Here the old faith that learning grows a person meets this saying that wisdom washes the mind's grime. When my mind is disordered, rather than covering it with stimulation, I choose to clear it by learning even one true line.

When your mind is cluttered today, before seeking stimulation, slowly read and mark one good line.
This verse is read as universal humanistic wisdom, not religion — no faith is promoted, and the reflection is 100% original ONGO content.
