The Power of Insight Purifies
the Mind!
In what sense is insight a power?
Understanding impermanence, insight is not disappointed by expecting
any endurance!
Knowing suffering, insight is not
captivated, even when experiencing sense pleasure!
Comprehending no-self, insight is not deceived by any
apparent, yet imaginary ego!
Apprehending
disgust, insight is not obsessed by the delight of
any adored
object.
Appreciating disillusion, insight does not get addicted, when influenced by
craving..
Recognizing ceasing as peace, it does not get hooked on any
new form of
arising..
Realizing relinquishment, it is not perturbed by any old panic
induced by clinging..
Insight cuts through all
wavering & hesitation, even when blinded by
ignorance..
This penetrative incisive comprehension is neither indecisive, nor ever
vacillating
as if when in serious doubt, or confused by uncertainty. Thus is
insight a
Power...!
