In the search
for enlightenment,
there is an ever-present
certainty that there is more to do,
someone else who holds the
secret, another state to
attain.
In the
finding of it,
there is the comical
revelation that not one
of those things was
ever true.

Heaven is
eternal, earth everlasting.
They endure this way because
they do not live for
themselves.
In the same way,
the wise person puts himself
last, and thereby finds himself first;
holds himself outside, and thereby
remains at the center; abandons
himself, and is thereby
fulfilled.

Studying texts
and stiff meditation can
make you lose your Original Mind.
A solitary tune by a fisherman, though,
can be an invaluable treasure. Dusk rain
on the river, the moon peeking in and
out of the clouds; elegant beyond
words, he chants his songs
night after night.
The
hexagram Lin
signals the approach of
powerful beneficial influences.
Just as the winter solstice heralds the
return of spring, the appearance of this hexagram
marks a similar movement toward light and
growth. Progress and success are
assured now to those who
persevere on the path
of truth.
To
maximize
the opportunity implicit
in this moment, it is important to
cultivate a proper attitude. It is easy, during
good times, to relax our inner discipline and fall back
into incorrect thoughts and actions. Allowing one’s ego to take
over in a moment of success is a sure means of ending the
progress that has begun. The growth that is at hand
was made possible by conscientious behavior,
and continuing carefully along that path
is our only means of coming
into full possession
of it.
A
steadfast
modesty and acceptance,
whether external conditions are good
or bad, is the mark of the superior person.
In yourself, maintain balance, equanimity, and
humility in times of accomplishment. With
others, remain patient, tolerant, and
gentle. Clinging to those principles
assures you of a time of joy
and prosperity.
