He used similar expressions to express flowers from both sides: “evil” and correct. Both ignorance and wisdom are to be studied. There is a saying, “Ignorance is nothing but wisdom, afflictions are nothing but awakening.” So there are two verses: One expresses this side, and one expresses the other side. The relation of religion and ethics can also be discussed when looking at this Section 50. When you see some litter in the street, picking it up is endless practice, beyond doing “good,” or “evil.” Picking up a piece of paper when it cannot be explained why it came here, why it shouldn’t be in this place, is infinitely picking up something which has infinitely been there. It is the conditioned state of time and space, creating the limitations of life. It’s an endless practice, infinite activity. When you see a little insect on the road, which is a dangerous place for an insect to walk, without hesitation you move it out of the way. Like the snail in the garden doesn’t know you are raising vegetables. Everything we do makes some difficulty, a very delicate point. What carries our deed, what carries our practice, whether it is a sense of good, or wrong, it is trusting that it needs to be done. So if you compare the length of your life, or the life of the vegetables, with the snail, the snail is a little morning dewdrop, and our life is like two morning dewdrops. When you compare, all vegetables will disappear by the next morning unless you smash the snail. But all vegetables disappear when the snail disappears. You have clear ground again. Most ethical, moral judgement is relative and conflictive, of tentative meaning. So we have to be very agreeable in judging, and we have to allow the possibility of completely changing it if necessary. Each of us is a sentient being, so we have that problem. The sun and moon work very patiently so they don’t dry us up. Since they have quite long life, they are giving us the opportunity to see and be seen, to live and be lived.
