How does the Devilmite Beam work?

Different translations provide different wordings... I've seen it explained as any evil in your heart will expand, but I've also seen it explained as any negative feelings in general will expand. Does it have anything to do with being pure of heart? Why precisely was Goku not affected?

I recall it saying the beam magnifies any tiny ounce of evil in your heart, and expanding it so your heart explodes. Goku wasnt affected simply because he has absolutely no evil in his heart.

I'm guessing it has something to do with ki, as characters have pointed out "evil"-feeling ki on several occasions.
