HEXAGRAM 64 – Wei Chi – Before Completion<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Above <\/span>          <\/span>Li       <\/span>THE CLINGING, FLAME<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This hexagram indicates <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

a time when <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

the transition<\/font><\/span> from disorder<\/font><\/span> to order<\/font><\/span> is not yet completed.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The change is indeed prepared for, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

all the lines in the upper trigram are in relation to<\/font><\/span> those in the lower (1).<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

However, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

they are not yet<\/font><\/span> in their places.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the preceding hexagram offers an analogy<\/font><\/span> to autumn, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>which forms<\/font><\/span> the transition from<\/font><\/span> summer to winter, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>this hexagram presents a parallel<\/font><\/span> to spring, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>which leads out<\/font><\/span> of winter’s stagnation into<\/font><\/span> the fruitful time of summer.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

With this hopeful outlook the Book of Changes comes to its close.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/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

BEFORE COMPLETION.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

But if the little fox, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

after nearly completing the crossing, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Gets his tail in the water, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

There is nothing that would further.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The conditions are difficult.<\/font><\/span><\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The task is <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>full of responsibility.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

It is nothing less than that of <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

leading<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b> the world out of confusion <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

back<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b> to order.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

it is a task that promises<\/font><\/span> success, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

because there is <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

a goal<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b> that can unite<\/font><\/span> the forces now tending in different directions.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

At first, however, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

one must move warily<\/font><\/span>, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

like an old fox walking over ice.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The caution of a fox walking over ice is proverbial in China.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

His ears are constantly alert to the cracking of the ice, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

he carefully and circumspectly searches out the safest spots.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

A young fox <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>who as yet has not acquired this caution <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>goes ahead boldly, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

and it may happen that <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>falls in and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>gets his tail wet <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

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

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>he is almost across the water.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Then of course his effort has been all in vain.<\/font><\/span><\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Accordingly, in times "before completion," <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>deliberation and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>caution <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

are the prerequisites of success.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/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

Fire over water: The image of the condition before transition.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

In the differentiation of things, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

So that each finds its place.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>fire, which by nature flames upward, is above, and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>water, which flows downward, is below, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

their effects <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>take opposite directions and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>remain unrelated.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>we wish to achieve an effect<\/font><\/span>, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>we must first <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>investigate<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b> the nature of the forces in question and <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>ascertain<\/font><\/font><\/span> their proper place.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

we can bring these forces to bear in the right place, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>they will have the desired effect, and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>completion will be achieved.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

But in order to handle external forces properly, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

we must above all arrive at the correct standpoint ourselves,<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b> <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

for only from this vantage can we work correctly.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/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

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

Perseverance brings good fortune.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Remorse disappears. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Shock, thus to discipline the Devil’s Country.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

For three years, great realms are awarded. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Now it is the time of struggle.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The transition must be completed.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

We must make ourselves strong in resolution; <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

this brings good fortune.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

All misgivings<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b> that might arise in such grave times<\/font><\/span> of struggle <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

must be silenced.<\/font><\/span><\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

It is a question of a fierce battle <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>to break and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>to discipline <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

the Devil\u00b4s Country, the forces of decadence.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

But the struggle also has its reward.<\/font><\/span><\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Now is the time to lay the foundations of <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

for the future.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

Perseverance brings good fortune. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

The light of the superior man is true.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Good fortune.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The victory has been won.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The power of steadfastness<\/font><\/span> has not been routed.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Everything has gone well.<\/font><\/span><\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

All misgivings<\/font><\/font><\/span> have been overcome.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Success<\/font><\/font><\/span> has justified the deed.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The light of a superior personality <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>shines<\/font><\/font><\/span> forth anew and <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>makes<\/font><\/font><\/span> its influence felt among men <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

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

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>have faith<\/font><\/span> in it and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>rally<\/font><\/font><\/span> around it.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>The new time<\/font><\/span> has arrived, and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>with it good fortune<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the sun shines<\/font><\/span> forth in redoubled beauty after rain, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

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

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>a forest grows<\/font><\/span> more freshly green from charred ruins after a fire, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

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

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the new era appears all the more glorious by contrast<\/font><\/span> with the misery of the old.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

HEXAGRAM 59 \u2013 Huan – Dispersion (Dissolution)<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Above <\/span>          <\/span>SUN   <\/span>THE GENTLE, WIND <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Wind blowing over water <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>disperses<\/font><\/font><\/span> it, <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>dissolving<\/font><\/font><\/span> it into <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

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

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>mist.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This suggests that when a man’s vital energy<\/font><\/span> is dammed up within him <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

(indicated as a danger<\/font><\/span> by the attribute of the lower trigram), <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>gentleness<\/font><\/font><\/span> serves to <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>break up<\/font><\/font><\/span> and <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>dissolve<\/font><\/font><\/span> <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

the blockage.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/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

Dispersion,<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

It furthers one to cross the great water.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The text of this hexagram resembles that of Ts’ui, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

GATHERING TOGETHER (45).<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the subject is the bringing together<\/font><\/span> of elements that have been separated<\/font><\/span>, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

as water collects in lakes upon the earth.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the subject is the <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

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

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>dissolving<\/font><\/font><\/span> <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

of divisive egotism.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

DISPERSION<\/font><\/font><\/span> shows the way, <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

so to speak, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

that leads to gathering together<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This explains the similarity of the two texts.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Religious forces<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b> are needed <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

to overcome<\/font><\/span> the egotism that divides men.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The common celebration<\/font><\/span> of the great <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>sacrificial feasts and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>sacred rites, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

which gave expression<\/font><\/span> simultaneously to <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

the interrelation and social articulation<\/font><\/span> of <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>state, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

was the means employed by the great rulers to unite men.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>The sacred music and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the splendor of the ceremonies<\/font><\/font><\/span> <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

aroused a strong tide of emotion<\/font><\/span> <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>that was shared<\/font><\/span> by all hearts in unison<\/font><\/span>, and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>that awakened<\/font><\/span> a consciousness of the common origin of all creatures<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

In this way <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>disunity<\/font><\/font><\/span> was overcome and <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

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

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

A further means to the same end is <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

cooperation in great general undertakings<\/font><\/font><\/span> <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>that set a high goal<\/font><\/span> for the will of the people; <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>in the common concentration<\/font><\/span> on this goal, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

all barriers dissolve<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b>, <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

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

when a boat is crossing a great stream, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

all hands must unite in a joint task.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

But only <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

a man <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>who is himself free of all selfish ulterior considerations<\/font><\/span>, and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>who perseveres in justice and steadfastness<\/font><\/span>, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

is capable of so dissolving the hardness of egotism<\/font><\/span>.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/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

The wind drives over the water: The image of DISPERSION. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus the kings of old <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>sacrificed to the Lord And <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>built temples.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

In the autumn and winter, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

water<\/font><\/font><\/span> begins to freeze<\/font><\/span> into ice.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

the warm breezes<\/font><\/span> of spring come, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the rigidity is dissolved<\/font><\/span>, and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the elements that have been dispersed in ice floes are reunited<\/font><\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

It is the same with the minds of the people<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Through hardness and selfishness<\/font><\/span> <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

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

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

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>this rigidity leads to separation from all others<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Egotism and cupidity isolate men.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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

the hearts of men must be seized by a devout emotion<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/u><\/b>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/u><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

They must be <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

shaken by a religious awe in face of eternity<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b> \u2013 <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>stirred<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b> with an intuition of the One Creator of all living beings, and <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>united<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b> through the strong feeling of fellowship experienced in the ritual of divine worship.<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n
