HEXAGRAM 45 – Ts’ui – Gathering Together (Massing)<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Above <\/span>          <\/span>Tui     <\/span>THE JOYOUS, LAKE<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Below <\/span>          <\/span>K’UN  <\/span>THE RECEPTIVE, EARTH<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This hexagram is related in <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>form and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>meaning <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

to Pi, HOLDING TOGETHER (8).<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>In the latter, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>water is over the earth; <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>here <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>a lake is over the earth.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

But since the lake is a place where water collects, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the idea of gathering together is even more strongly expressed here <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>than in the other hexagram.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The same idea also arises from the fact that <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>in the present case <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>it is two strong lines (the fourth and the fifth) that bring about the gathering together<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

whereas <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>in the former case <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>one strong line (the fifth) stands in the midst of weak lines.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

THE JUDGMENT<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

GATHERING TOGETHER.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Success.<\/font><\/font><\/span> <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

The king approaches his temple. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

It furthers one to see the great man. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This brings success.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Perseverance furthers. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>To bring great offerings creates good fortune.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>It furthers one to undertake something,<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The gathering together of people in large communities is either <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>a natural<\/font><\/span> occurrence, as in the case of the family, or <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>an artificial<\/font><\/span> one, as in the case of the state.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The family gathers about the father as its head.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The perpetuation of this gathering in groups is achieved through <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

the sacrifice<\/font><\/span> to the ancestors, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

at which the whole clan is gathered<\/font><\/span> together.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Through the collective piety<\/font><\/span> of the living members of the family, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

the ancestors<\/font><\/span> become so integrated in the spiritual life of the family that <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

it cannot be <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>dispersed or <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>dissolved.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Where men are to be gathered together, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

religious<\/font><\/font><\/span> forces are needed. <\/font> <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

But there must also be a human leader<\/font><\/span> <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

to serve as the center of the group.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

In order to be able to bring others together, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

this leader must first of all be collected<\/font><\/span> within himself.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Only collective moral force can unite the world.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Such great times of unification will leave great achievements behind them.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This is the significance of the great offerings that are made.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

In the secular sphere likewise there is need of great deeds in the time of GATHERING TOGETHER.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

THE IMAGE<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Over the earth, the lake: The image Of GATHERING TOGETHER. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus the superior man renews<\/font><\/span> his weapons In order to meet the <\/font>unforeseen.<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

If the water in the lake gathers until it rises<\/font><\/span> above the earth, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

there is danger of a break-through<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Precautions<\/font><\/font><\/span> must be taken to prevent this.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>where men gather together in great numbers, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>strife is likely to arise; <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>where possessions are collected, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>robbery is likely to occur.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus in the time of GATHERING TOGETHER <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

we must arm promptly<\/font><\/span> to ward off the unexpected<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Human woes usually come as a result of unexpected events <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

against which we are not forearmed.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

If <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>we are prepared, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>they can be prevented.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

THE LINES<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Six in the second place means: <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/u><\/p>\n

Letting oneself be drawn <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>Brings good fortune and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>remains blameless.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

If <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>one is sincere, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>It furthers one to bring even a small offering.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

In the time of GATHERING TOGETHER, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

we should make no arbitrary choice of the way.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

There are secret forces at work, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

leading together those who belong together.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>We must yield to this attraction; <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

then <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>we make no mistakes.<\/font><\/font><\/span>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Where inner relationships exist, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>no great preparations and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>formalities <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

are necessary.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>People understand one another forthwith, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

just as <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the Divinity graciously accepts a small offering if it comes from the heart.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Nine in the fourth place means: <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/u><\/p>\n

Great good fortune.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

No blame.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This describes <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

a man who gathers people around him in the name of his ruler.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Since <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>he is <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>not striving for any special advantages for himself <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>but is working unselfishly to bring about general unity,<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>his work is crowned with success, and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>everything becomes as it should be.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

HEXAGRAM 29 – K’an – The Abysmal (Water)<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Above <\/span>          <\/span>K’AN   <\/span>THE ABYSMAL, WATER<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Below <\/span>          <\/span>K’AN   <\/span>THE ABYSMAL, WATER<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This hexagram consists of a doubling of the trigram K’an.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

It is one of the eight hexagrams in which doubling occurs.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The trigram K’an means a plunging in<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

A yang line <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>has plunged in between two yin lines and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>is closed in by them like water in a ravine.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The trigram K’an is also the middle son.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>The Receptive has obtained the middle line of the Creative, and thus <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>K’an develops.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

As an image it represents water<\/font><\/span>, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

the water that <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>comes from above and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>is in motion on earth in <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>streams and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>rivers, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

giving rise to all life on earth.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

In man’s world K’an represents <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the heart,<\/font><\/span> <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the soul<\/font><\/span> locked up within the body, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the principle of light<\/font><\/span> inclosed in the dark – that is, reason.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The name of the hexagram, because the trigram is doubled, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

has the additional meaning, "repetition of danger."<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus the hexagram is intended to designate <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>an objective situation<\/font><\/span> to which one must become accustomed, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>not a subjective attitude<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

For danger due to a subjective attitude means either <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>foolhardiness or <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>guile.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Hence too a ravine is used to symbolize danger<\/font><\/span>; <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

it is a situation in which <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>a man is in the same pass as the water in a ravine, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

and, like the water, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>he can escape if he behaves<\/font><\/span> correctly.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

THE JUDGMENT<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The Abysmal repeated. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

If you are sincere, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>you have success in your heart, And <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>whatever you do succeeds.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Through repetition of danger we grow accustomed<\/font><\/span> to it.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Water sets the example for the right conduct under such circumstances.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

It <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>flows<\/font><\/font><\/span> on and on, and <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>merely fills up all<\/font><\/span> the places through which it flows; <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

it <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>does not<\/font><\/font><\/span> shrink from any dangerous spot nor from any plunge<\/font><\/span>, and <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>nothing can make it lose its own essential nature<\/font><\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

It <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>remains true to itself under all conditions<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus likewise, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>if one is sincere<\/font><\/span> when confronted with difficulties, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the heart can penetrate<\/font><\/span> the meaning of the situation.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

And <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>once we have gained inner mastery of a problem, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>it will come about naturally that the action we take will succeed<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

In danger all that counts is really <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>carrying out all that has to be done \u2013 thoroughness – and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>going forward, in order not to perish through tarrying in the danger.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Properly used, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

danger can have an important meaning as a protective measure.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>heaven has its perilous height <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>protecting it against every attempt at invasion, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>earth has its mountains and bodies of water, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>separating countries by their dangers.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus also <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>rulers make use of danger to protect themselves<\/font><\/font><\/span> <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>against attacks from without and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>against turmoil within.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

THE IMAGE<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Water <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>flows on uninterruptedly and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>reaches its goal: <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The image of the Abysmal repeated. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus the superior man <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>walks in lasting virtue And <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>carries on the business of teaching.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>Water reaches its goal by flowing continually.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>It fills up every depression before it flows on.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The superior man follows its example; <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>he is concerned that goodness<\/font><\/span> <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>should be an established attribute of character<\/font><\/span> <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>rather than an accidental and isolated occurrence.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

So likewise in teaching others <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

everything depends on consistency, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

for it is only through repetition that the pupil makes the material his own.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
