A Clear Place to Stand

Reflection

The verse begins, “A wise and good man who knows the meaning of this, should quickly clear the way….” In its chapter, this image points toward a practical path of attention, ethics, and understanding. Read goodness here as a trainable direction—choices that reduce harm and leave less residue of regret. Because this is a historic English translation, test the teaching in experience rather than treating its wording as a demand for belief.
