88-days #52 "Keeping still"

Mountain
It is keeping still.
keep still when it is time to keep still. remain active when it is time to remain active.
when action and resting do not miss their time, their way becomes promising and brilliant.
keeping still in stillness is keeping still in the place where one should be still.
the corresponding lines above and below are repelling. they do not respond to each other. thus he is no longer feeling his body. even walking in the courtyard. he is no longer seeing his people there is no fault.

Keeping still expounds the truth of knowing when and where to stop before one's action goes too far.
the key to success is to advance when it is time to advance and to stop when it is time to stop. every action should accord with the time and situation. never act subjectively and blindly. keeping still means to be tranquil and stable.
