Inner Profit Of Clean Conscience

Neville's Inner Vision

The verse reveals a question rising from a mind that still measures virtue by outward profit. The speaker imagines righteousness as a transaction: 'What advantage... if I be cleansed from my sin?' In Neville's language, this is a state of consciousness asking, What will it gain me in the world to awaken to the I AM that fills me? The truth is not earned by hearsay but claimed in awareness. When you accept that you are already cleansing, the profit you seek is the restoration of fellowship with your own divine presence—the sense of right relationship with life. Mercy and forgiveness are not external acts but inner revisions of perception. As you imagine yourself as already cleansed—feeling the fearless, nonjudgmental I AM—you dissolve the creditor-debtor stance and discover that the inner state of mercy manifests as harmony in relationships, health, and purpose. The verse gently instructs that the only 'profit' worth seeking is the steady awareness that you are loved, intact, and free.
