89-days #32 "Long lasting"

Heng is long lasting. the firm is above, the gentle below.
thunder and wind are in mutual support.
Be gentle and in motion, the firm and the gentle respond. this signifies long lasting.

long lasting brings success; there is no fault.
it is favorable to be steadfast and upright.
this indicates that long lasting accords with the Tao.
the Tao of Heaven and Earth is long lasting; it never ends.

It is favorable to go somewhere. an end is always followed by a new beginning.
sun and moon rely on the Tao of Heaven; thus can their shining be long lasting.

the four seasons change and transform; thus can their production of beings long endure.
the holy sage remains long lasting in his way of life; then all things under heaven and transformed to completion.
contemplate the Tao of long lasting to see the nature of heaven and earth and of all beings.
the superior person stands firm without changing own aim.

신중하게 목표를 설정하고 세웠으면 함부로 바꾸지 말고 뜻을 이뤄라.
인생을 살아가는 과정에는 많은 동요와 풍파가 있지만, 어떠한 어려움도 슬기롭게 극복하여 원래 세웠던 뜻과 목표를 항구한 덕으로 이루어야한다. 자연사나 인간사나 모두 마치면 다시 시작된다. 해와 달은 항구한 하늘을 얻었기 때문에 오래 천하를 비출수있으며, 춘하추동 사시가 변화함에 만물의 생화작용이 항구하게 이루어진다. 또한 성인이 자연의 도를 본받은 항구한 도에 오래해서 천하 백성을 화하여 이루니, 그 항상한 도를 보면 천지 만물의 실정을 하기 볼수있다.

You need, 1. true understanding, 2. to benefit others, 3. to keep going on

position and instructions
1. dark energy - do not be hasty to be deep too quickly, do not act
2. light energy - keep to sincerity, keep going upward
3. light energy - keep to constancy, keep to sincerity
4. light energy - be desireless, keep to sincerity, harmonize with others
5. dark energy - keep to constancy as the proper way, keep to constancy in change
6. dark energy - do not act too quickly, keep to your humility

Constancy does not mean to keep doing a thing without change; it means to follow principles without ceasing.
