"Only when a man is completely free from his ego, and intent, by conviction, upon what is right and essential, does he acquire the clarity that enables him to see through such people, and become free from blame."
In reality one can not be released completely from the ego because the "ego is a part of us" so our real intent here is to remain in the moment and not allow our mind to fixate on anything that the ego might want to influence us into a false sense of bravado, etc.
What I mean is that we must train to be of "no-mind" which is the ability to remain is the present moment, the now, and with no thoughts of any particular which subverts the mind and results in the inability to take quick, decisive and appropriate actions.
Only in the moment can the mind achieve a clarity that connects us with the Tao and allows our instincts, thus trained over time by our practice, to act in accordance with all that is correct and proper according to the book of changes or the oracle of life.
