The Confucian Doctrine of the Mean is to be practised for the cultivation of the Moral Order. Only from a proper blending of the two will the higher type of man emerge. True goodness springs from a man's heart, i.e., his inner moral law or Jen. He ought to be free from grief and fear. The practice of the moral law within evolves intuition which is different from intelligence which is the result of education.
Intuition leads to absolute knowledge and truth.
The realization of our being is moral sense. The realization of things outside of us is intellect. These, moral sense and intellect, are the powers or faculties of our being. They combine the inner or subjective and outer or objective use of the power of the mind. Thus absolute truth is indestructible.
