Inner Wisdom vs Mischief

Neville's Inner Vision

Let us read this as a map of consciousness. A fool treats mischief as sport because his awareness is scattered, his I AM dimmed by desire and reaction. The 'sport' is not external mischief alone, but the inner game of believing in separation, in fearful stories about others, in the thrill of control. In the realm of the I AM, when you fix your attention on one inner movement—alignment with love, truth, and coherent intention—the mind stops treating mischief as entertainment and learns wisdom. A 'man of understanding' is one who has settled in his inner state of wholeness, and so every choice and action is a natural expression of that unity. The verse invites you to test yourself: who is running your day—the impulsive fool or the steady watcher of your own inner weather? You can revise the impulse by assuming the feeling of your wiser self, the I AM that calmly sees through illusion and guides you to constructive outcomes.
