The vesture, says the commentator, must first be washed pure of all stains of passion and darkness, and the seeds of future sorrow must be burned up utterly. Then, both the vesture and the wearer of the vesture being alike pure, the spiritual man enters into perfect spiritual life. THE VESTURE SAYS THE COMMENTATOR MUST FIRST BE WASHED PURE OF ALL STAINS OF PASSION AND DARKNESS AND THE SEEDS OF FUTURE SORROW MUST BE BURNED UP UTTERLY THEN BOTH THE VESTURE AND THE WEARER OF THE VESTURE BEING ALIKE PURE THE SPIRITUAL MAN ENTERS INTO PERFECT SPIRITUAL LIFE
ich is born of discernment is starlike; it discerns all things, and all conditions of things, it discerns without succession: simultaneously. That wisdom, that intuitive, divining power is starlike, says the commentator, because it shines with its own light, because it rises on high, and illumines all things. Nought is hid from it, whether things past, things present, or things to come; for it is beyond the threefold form of time, so that all things are spread before it together, in the single light of the divine. This power has been beautifully described by Columba: “Some there are, though very few, to whom Divine grace has granted this: that they can clearly and most distinctly see, at one and the same moment, as though under one ray of the sun, even the entire circuit of the whole world with its surroundings of ocean and sky, the inmost part of their mind being marvellously enlarged.” 55. When the vesture and the spiritual man are alike pure, then perfect spiritual life is attained. UR THE WISDOM WHICH IS BORN OF DISCERNMENT IS STAR LIKE IT DISCERNS ALL THINGS AND ALL CONDITIONS OF THINGS IT DISCERNS WITHOUT SUCCESSION SIMULTANEOUSLY THAT WISDOM THAT INTUITIVE DIVINING POWER IS STAR LIKE SAYS THE COMMENTATOR BECAUSE IT SHINES WITH ITS OWN LIGHT BECAUSE IT RISES ON HIGH AND ILLUMINES ALL THINGS NAUGHT IS HID FROM IT WHETHER THINGS PAST THINGS PRESENT OR THINGS TO COME FOR IT IS BEYOND THE THREEFOLD FORM OF TIME SO THAT ALL THINGS ARE SPREAD BEFORE IT TOGETHER IN THE SINGLE LIGHT OF THE DIVINE THIS POWER HAS BEEN BEAUTIFULLY DESCRIBED BY COLUMBA SOME THERE ARE THOUGH VERY FEW TO WHOM DIVINE GRACE HAS GRANTED THIS THAT THEY CAN CLEARLY AND MOST DISTINCTLY SEE AT ONE AND THE SAME MOMENT AS THOUGH UNDER ONE RAY OF THE SUN EVEN THE ENTIRE CIRCUIT OF THE WHOLE WORLD WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS OF OCEAN AND SKY THE INMOST PART OF THEIR MIND BEING MARVELLOUSLY ENLARGED SUITRA FIFTY FIVE WHEN THE VESTURE AND THE SPIRITUAL MAN ARE ALIKE PURE THEN PERFECT SPIRITUAL LIFE IS ATTAINED
