Governing text · Tongren: Nine at the top
In plain wordsBeing of one heart with others out on the remote outskirts. Hardly anyone comes to respond, but there is nothing to regret either.
- Now
- A situation of being of one heart with others. The condition is openness and selflessness: form your bonds out in open ground, rather than huddling only with your own little circle.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Nine at the top. The answer is in that line. Neither good nor bad. Do your part, correct mistakes, and nothing will go wrong.
- Where it is heading
- Things are moving toward Ge (Revolution): The time has come when things must change, but wait until the moment is ripe.
- What to do
- Put aside factional prejudice and work with others frankly. Face the hard crossing together, and you will get through.
