My Understanding : Every person on this earth experiences moments of intellectual clarity, whether auspicious or inauspicious. The more you become attached to these moments, the more emotions arise around them. However, for a person with a steady intellect, there is no distinction between good or bad. They accept everything as it comes, without dividing experiences into categories of good or bad.
