Explanation
The person who is pure in heart, :
- Receives insult without being insulted.
- Receives offense without being offended.
- Encounters a loss as if he has lost nothing.
- Experiences failure without a feeling that he has failed.
- Has disappointment without being disappointed.
- Is pleased to succeed, but never disappointed.
- Lives in the world as a passer-by. When he makes gains, he receives it. But if he loses, he knows that he has lost nothing indeed. All because the world is a temporary place, an illusion, intended as a school for the children of God.
The only person who loses everything is the one who is not living a life of Truth, Righteousness and Holiness.
