Even Goodness Can Bind · Holding Virtue Lightly
Meaning
"Among these, sattva, being pure, is illuminating and free from affliction; it binds one through attachment to happiness and knowledge, O sinless one."
Explanation
Even the best of our tendencies — clarity, calm, wisdom — can quietly become something we cling to and get attached to. It's worth holding even our good qualities a little lightly.
Today's Life Lesson
Even your good qualities today — your clarity or calm — are worth holding lightly, rather than clinging to as identity.
