February 11th -- Mark 7
AN EVIL EYE
IN the New Testament, an evil eye is one of the defilements coming from "within, out of the heart of man" (Mark 7:22); and when the Householder in the parable rebukes the labourers who grudge the latecomers equal pay, he says, "Is thine eye evil, because I am good?" Are they greedy and envious because he is generous? The evil eye results from an attachment to earthly treasure which corrupts the spirit and blinds the heart. The "good" or "single" eye, on the other hand, is that of the liberal man whose vision is unclouded by greed and his mind not divided by envy.
