with a clear mind / in cool-headedness

with a clear mind / in cool-headedness

With clear thought and balanced judgment without any disturbance. A mind that is pure and settled (צָלוּל means pure and clear).

("Rab Nachman bar Yitzhak said: The law requires clarity like the day of Istan (translation: halacha requires a clear mind like the day of Istan—a day when the northern wind blows, which is a day of brightness)" – Talmud Eruvin 65a. Similarly: "You have stirred—like the tongue of troubled waters, my mind is not clear now" – Rashi on Genesis 30:30. Similarly: "Do with them all that your soul desires, just let me sit in peace and teach Torah to the children of Israel with a clear mind" – Shalom Aleichem / If I Were Rothschild, 157. Similarly: "And with a settled and clear mind he said to return to the act of the incense which he had started" – Bialik / Arieh Ba’al Guf, 7:37. Similarly: "A Jew wants to prepare himself on the way so he may enter the land of Israel with a clear mind, suddenly the anger of his wife jumps at him: give me a divorce, make a wedding canopy for me. It is not good for man to be alone, and when his wife is with him, it is also not good" – Agnon / These and Those, In the Heart of Days, 414. Similarly: "What more do we have to say to the great Menachem? We had nothing, only that with a clear mind we had already signed the agreement of documentation" – Natan Yonatan / Like Flowing Water)
