at the foot of a mountain lies difficulty;
difficulty makes him stand still.
it is ignorant behavior.
the ignorant can be prosperous and smooth.
if he acts in accordance with the proper time, and follows the principle of the central way.
it is not i who seeks the ignorant.
the ignorant seeks me.
his will responds to mine.
on the first divination, i give light.
he was firm and in a central position.
repeating again is contemptuous.
being contemptuous, no more instruction.
showing contempt cause ignorance.
uncovering the covered is to nourish the correct nature.
it is a holy task.
Commentary on the symbol
a spring flows out of a mountain.
the symbol of an unenlightened ignorant.
in correspondence with this,
the superior person makes every effort to cultivate virtue with resolute deeds.
