Goodness Drop by Drop

Reflection

The verse begins, “As a grass-blade, if badly grasped, cuts the arm, badly-practised asceticism leads to hell.” In its chapter, this image points toward actions and the consequences they set in motion. Its value is practical when it changes how you meet one choice, relationship, or difficult feeling today. Because this is a historic English translation, test the teaching in experience rather than treating its wording as a demand for belief.
