The Clean Heart Within Psalm 73:1-2

Neville's Inner Vision

Two states stand in the verse: the good of God toward the 'clean heart' and the confession that the self may almost slip. The inner meaning is not moral pedantry but a disclosure of your present consciousness: what you perceive as slipping is a misalignment in your awareness, not a change in God. The 'I AM' you are is the unshakable vantage point from which all conditions are measured; the clean heart is your state of wholeness, not a distant virtue earned by effort. When the speaker says his feet almost slipped, he is merely showing you that thinking you can fall is a thought of separation inside you. The cure is simple: assume the end. Enter the feeling that you are already kept by the divine order, that your steps are steady because you are the very consciousness that holds them steady. Believe that God's goodness is not forthcoming but already available in your inner life. Practise imagining from that state, and let your outer experience reflect the inner assurance, until slipping becomes a symbolic memory rather than a present reality.
