IMAGE Approach has supreme success. Perseverance is favourable. If there is a climax in the eighth month then there will be misfortune.
|
SYMBOL TRADITION Earth above the lake. Approach. A wise man uses teaching to avoid stagnation and he uses compassion to defend the people without setting limits. |
The meaning of this chapter is that there is an approach with an offer. An offer that promises to bring an increase to both parties.
This seems all for the good and it may well be. On the other hand, sudden promotions into a new way of life often lead to problems. If you fail to keep a careful attitude, and neglect to look after people, it may all end badly.
