The Master does more than just notice discord in herself.
Since she knows that a feeling of discord can only be caused by a prior thought,
she questions the thought.
For her, discord is always a momentary imbalance.
When it is investigated, it unravels.
Thus it can never do any harm.
When the mind is transparent,
the heart is transparent.
There are no beliefs to keep awareness from shining through.
As the world becomes transparent,
your goodness and everyone’s,
is gradually, heart-stirringly revealed.
there is no place where goodness is not.
When a pickpocket sees a saint,
he sees only his pockets;
when a saint sees a pickpocket,
he sees only his innocence.

Though the fish sinks to the bottom,
it still can clearly be seen.
Thus the Master
examines her innermost self.
She notices even the smallest
sign of discord, and corrects it
before it can do any harm.
When your mind is transparent to the depths
and your words and actions are one,
the whole world becomes transparent.

This is not ethics; it’s mental hygiene.
When the mind is transparent,
the heart is transparent.
There are no beliefs to keep awareness from shining through.
The primal light shines through even the densest matter.
As the world becomes transparent,
your goodness and everyone’s,
is gradually, heart-stirringly revealed.
To the transparent eye,
there is no place where goodness is not.
When a pickpocket sees a saint,
he sees only his pockets;
when a saint sees a pickpocket,
he sees only his innocence.
