Detachment lends one vision
to see clearly and so
to judge correctly;
hence from it springs justice.






And how may fearlessness come to us?

to the measure that the ego is less dominant,
to that measure will fearlessness grow ; and the easiest way to outgrow the ego is to grow towards an ideal.


Hence detachment brings with it
clear and correct judgement . and fearlessness the strength & courage to put into execution the judgement arrived at. so from these two parent qualities are born righteousness.
And how may mercy grow within us ?
It comes in larger or smaller measure, to the extent that we learn to identify ourselves
one with the other.
