The concept of being pure of heart, as explored here, delves into a profound spiritual understanding that transcends conventional notions of morality, honesty, and kindness. It’s an invitation to view purity of heart not as a result of specific actions or characteristics but as a state of being that exists beyond conventional moral frameworks.
Purity of Heart Beyond Morality
We understand that being pure of heart is not necessarily about adhering to societal norms of honesty, morality, or kindness. While individuals who are pure of heart often exhibit these qualities, they are not the defining factors of this state of being.
No Prerequisites for Purity of Heart
The realization that there are no prerequisites to being pure of heart is crucial. It suggests that this state is not exclusive to those deemed ‘good’ or ‘virtuous’ by societal standards. Both the ‘best’ and ‘worst’ individuals, from a human perspective, can be pure of heart.
Perspective of the Source
The pure of heart are described as seeing things from the source perspective, which encompasses all perspectives and simultaneously none. This viewpoint transcends the dualities and judgments of human perception, recognizing that no perspective is inherently superior or inferior to another.
Timelessness and Universal Purity
In a realm outside of time and the reality it constructs, everyone is inherently pure of heart. This suggests that purity of heart is a universal quality, inherent in all beings, unbound by the temporal and moral judgments of the physical world.
