Governing text · Guai: Nine in the second place
In plain wordsStay alert at heart and call out loudly to warn everyone to be on guard. Even if the enemy attacks in the middle of the night, there is no need to worry.
- Now
- Five parts good against one part bad; only the final decisive step remains. But that last step is still dangerous.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Nine in the second place. The answer is in that line. The text gives no verdict, only an image. Ask what in your situation the image resembles. The answer is there.
- 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
- Bring the matter into the open and state it clearly; win everyone's support. Put your own side in order first. Do not open with a head-on clash. Be decisive, but not impulsive.
