Meaning
This reads as a warning that the calculating mind splits life into opposites and keeps score. It can be taken to mean that pure analysis, especially around worldly gain, creates separation instead of wholeness. It lands when someone is trapped in constant comparison, because it points to a mind that measures too much and experiences peace too little.
