Pure-Minded...

A man who has gone through all experiences and has held his spirit high, not
allowing it to be stained, such a man may be said to be pure-minded. The person
who could be called pure because he had no knowledge of either good or evil
would in reality be merely a simpleton. To go
through all that takes away the original purity and yet to rise above everything
that seeks to overwhelm it and drag it down, that is spirituality; the light of
the spirit held high and burning clear and pure.
