Governing text · Dayou: Nine in the second place
In plain wordsLike a great wagon: it can hold the load and it can carry it. You have somewhere to go, and there is no blame — it is because you have this strength that you can take on this heavy task.
- Now
- Like the sun shining in the sky: you possess a great deal, and things go through.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Nine in the second place. The answer is in that line. This text describes a good outcome. Act the way it says and the matter can succeed. The promise has a condition: keep to the right course.
- Where it is heading
- Things are moving toward Li (Clinging Fire): Attach yourself to the right people and things, and the light can last.
- What to do
- When you have many resources, use them for the right ends, and help good people and good things succeed. The richer you are, the more modest you must be; only then can you keep it for long.
